Never before has there been so much progressive energy, whether you're looking at the world of activism or think tanks or media. As for the Democratic Party, while it is far from dominant today and struggles to win elections in many places, one cannot recall a time when the party felt more like the vehicle of a true political movement. There's so much going on these days in the progressive world, that it can be hard to get your arms around it and see the big picture.
Journalist Robert Kuttner recently published a lengthy and insightful article on Democratic politics and the progressive movement in the American Prospect, the magazine which he is the co-founder. Kuttner has been a keen student of the Democratic party for a very long time, publishing 12 books on the subject. Host David Callahan spoke with Robert Kuttner on what he learned in his career and how progressive politics today fits into a bigger story he's been writing about for decades.
Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.
