Podcasts about Dunkelman

A conversation with Brown University's Marc Dunkelman who has written an important book: Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and how to Bring it Back.” Dunkelman has written an alternative history of the Democratic Party, a 150 year struggle between top-down and bottom-up progressivism that has led to stagnation. 

America once built highways and reached the moon. Now we can't even fix a bridge. The reason? The reforms meant to improve government have paralyzed it. In this recent WhoWhatWhy podcast I talk with Marc Dunkelman, whose recent book, Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress — and How to Bring It Back, uncovers the real reasons why America has lost its ability to build and manufacture. The culprit? A fundamental shift in progressive thinking itself. Dunkelman reveals how a deep distrust of and “cultural aversion to power” emerged in the 1960s and gradually transformed governance. What began as well-intentioned safeguards against political overreach has created a paralysis where anyone can veto almost anything. Progressives replaced discretionary authority with procedural obstacles — environmental reviews, endless community meetings, and litigation tools that allow virtually anyone to block progress.

On this week's show, we bring you a national conversation with Marc Dunkelman, author of the book "Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—And How to Bring It Back," that was hosted by the High Speed Rail Alliance on April 4, 2025. Marc J. Dunkelman is a fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs and a former fellow at NYU's Marron Institute of Urban Management. During more than a decade working in politics, he worked for Democratic members of both the Senate and the House of Representatives and as a senior fellow at the Clinton Foundation. The author of The Vanishing Neighbor, Dunkelman's work has also appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Atlantic, and Politico. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island. America built the world's greatest rail network, along with a vast electrical grid, interstate highways, abundant housing, the Social Security system, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and more. But today, even while facing pressing challenges that include dilapidated infrastructure and a climate crisis, progress is difficult. In this talk, you'll hear from Marc Dunkelman, author of the new book Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—And How to Bring It Back. He argues that both conservatives and progressives have played a role in creating gridlock that stifles progress, and that we can get past it.

On this episode, Dan Richards talks with Marc Dunkelman, Watson Institute fellow in International and Public Affairs and author of the new book “Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress―and How to Bring It Back.” In the book, Dunkelman explores how American progressives transformed from a movement dedicated to ambitious, effective, centralized government projects (think the New Deal or Medicaid) into a movement dedicated to limiting government power. As Marc explains, this wasn't an intentional project but the result of overlapping, competing impulses within the progressive movement and a cultural shift with progressivism in the 20th century, whose effects took decades to fully materialize. In charting this transformation and its effects, Dunkelman explains why today, even when in power, progressives seem unable to achieve their own goals, from increasing housing supply to upgrading infrastructure to decarbonizing our energy grid. He also explains how this shift has shaped our electoral politics and what progressives can do to help get progressivism (and America) working again.

Why does it feel like we can't build anything anymore? In this episode, Nick and Goldy talk with author Mark Dunkelman about his new book Why Nothing Works, which examines how well-intentioned progressive reforms created a “vetocracy” that makes major public projects nearly impossible. From Seattle's decades-long waterfront rebuild to the dysfunction of Penn Station, they explore the messy trade-offs between accountability and action—and ask what it would take to make progress possible again.

This podcast has featured two stories about government endeavors: the much-criticized infrastructure project known as ‘The Big Dig,' and of course the wildly successful state lottery. So why do these two stories play out so differently?In the final interview episode for this season, host Ian Coss speaks with Marc Dunkelman, a research fellow at Brown University, about why some parts of government draw intense scrutiny while others run quietly in the background. Dunkelman's new book is "Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress -- and How to Bring It Back."

Author and Brown University fellow Marc Dunkelman believes America is stuck – unable to move the needle on big things that need fixing. In his latest book, “Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress – And How to Bring it Back,” Dunkelman examines what progressives must do to correct this and restore confidence in democratically elected government. Marc was in Seattle recently as DSA's State of Downtown keynote speaker and joined Jon to talk about how the work of Robert Moses and a trip to Penn Station sparked the idea of this book; the tension in the progressive movement over the role of government; the cultural aversion to power and more. He's been featured in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The New York Times, on MSNBC, CNN and other outlets. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Marc Dunkelman.

[AUTOPROMOCJA] Głównym tematem najnowszego odcinka "Raportu Międzynarodowego" jest porażka Donalda Trumpa, który nie zdołał namówić Władimira Putina na zawieszenie broni w Ukrainie. Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz zastanawiają się, czy amerykański prezydent wyciągnie z tej sytuacji wnioski, czy też jego chęć resetu z Rosją jest tak silna, że fakt, iż Putin nie idzie na żadne ustępstwa w sprawie Ukrainy – być może dla Trumpa drugorzędnej – nie będzie miał dla niego większego znaczenia. Prowadzący podcast odnotowują również coraz większe porażki Ukrainy w okupowanych do niedawna fragmentach obwodu kurskiego i stwierdzają, że Ukraina najprawdopodobniej niestety nie będzie miała możliwości handlowania okupowanymi terytoriami z Rosją. Tematem rozmowy są też wypowiedzi Andrzeja Dudy na temat broni atomowej. Witold Jurasz zauważa, że choć tradycyjnie takich spraw, jak dyslokacja broni atomowej, nie załatwia się w sposób, w jaki próbował to zrobić polski prezydent, to równocześnie sprawa ta najprawdopodobniej nie da się również rozwiązać tradycyjnymi metodami dyplomatycznymi. Może to wskazywać, że celem prezydenta nie było załatwienie sprawy, a jedynie wywołanie debaty na ten temat. Zbigniew Parafianowicz z kolei stwierdza, że nawet jeśli tak było, to fakt, że wiceprezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych J.D. Vance natychmiast negatywnie zareagował na wypowiedź Andrzeja Dudy, sprawia, że szanse na ściągnięcie amerykańskiej broni nuklearnej do Polski są mniejsze, a nie większe. Obaj prowadzący z uznaniem odnotowują zapowiedź wyjścia Polski z konwencji o zakazie min przeciwpiechotnych i przypominają, że o potrzebie takiego ruchu wspominali wielokrotnie. W podcaście pojawia się również kwestia tego, czy Rosja może zablokować dyslokację europejskich sił pokojowych w Ukrainie, czy też decyzja w tej sprawie będzie zależała wyłącznie od Ukrainy i jej europejskich sojuszników. Inne tematy poruszane w odcinku to: wznowione izraelskie ataki w Strefie Gazy, spotkanie króla Wielkiej Brytanii z premierem Kanady oraz amerykańskie uderzenia na Huti w Jemenie. Pojawia się również polski wątek, dotyczący okoliczności i powodów ataków na szefa Polskiego Instytutu Spraw Międzynarodowych (PISM). Witold Jurasz zauważa, że krytyka, która pojawia się wokół tej postaci, nie ma żadnych merytorycznych podstaw, a jest wynikiem działań ludzi związanych z układem towarzyskim rządzącym PISM-em za czasów PiS. Prowadzący podkreślają, że w polskim życiu publicznym linie podziału nie przebiegają według klasycznych osi politycznych czy światopoglądowych, lecz opierają się na przynależności do określonych elit towarzyskich. Witold Jurasz ironicznie zauważa, że najlepszym sposobem na poprawienie wizerunku nowego szefa PISM mogłoby być częstsze zapraszanie na konferencje osób niegdyś wpływowych w przeszłości, zapewnianie im honorariów za teksty i wystąpienia – bo to właśnie układy, a nie kompetencje, będą decydowały o tym, jak będzie się mówić o nowym szefie PISM. Drugim polskim wątkiem w podcaście jest zmiana na stanowisku ambasadora Izraela w Polsce. Witold Jurasz komentuje wywiad byłego ambasadora Yacova Livne dla TVN24, w którym ten nie był w stanie jednoznacznie potępić określenia “polskie obozy koncentracyjne”. Prowadzący zgodnie stwierdzają, że dla dobra relacji polsko-izraelskich oraz polsko-żydowskich dobrze się stało, że Livne zakończył swoją misję dyplomatyczną w Warszawie. Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz zwracają także uwagę na decyzję USA o wstrzymaniu finansowania Radia Wolna Europa i Głosu Ameryki.  W tym odcinku “Raportu Międzynarodowego” pojawia się też analiza książki Marca Dunkelmana “Why Nothing Works”. Autor opisuje zjawisko “vetokracji”, czyli paraliżu decyzyjnego na Zachodzie, spowodowanego nadmierną liczbą przepisów pozwalających blokować każdą większą inwestycję. Dunkelman zauważa, że frustracja z tym związana stała się jednym z motorów napędowych popularności polityków populistycznych, takich jak Donald Trump. Na końcu podcastu prowadzący komentują przypadek sześcioletniego dziecka, które trafiło do szpitala w ciężkim stanie z powodu braku szczepienia przeciw błonicy. Witold Jurasz stanowczo stwierdza, że państwo powinno walczyć z głupotą ruchów antyszczepionkowych bardziej stanowczo i że kalendarz szczepień obowiązkowych powinien być rzeczywiście obowiązkowy, a nie opcjonalny. Podkreśla również, że Rosja, choć sama promuje antyszczepionkowe narracje na Zachodzie, wewnętrznie stosuje bardzo rygorystyczne zasady dotyczące szczepień.

Today:Marc Dunkelman argues the abject failure of progressive politics to get things done played a role in the rise of Trumpism. He joins to discuss his book “Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress – and How to Bring It Back.”And, despite their name, there's actually very little that we know about the mating habits of the majestic humpback whale. We talk about the first recorded mating observance of the humpback, between two male whales, with naturalist Sy Montgomery.

As MAGA continues to vandalize the Federal bureaucracy, some progressives are beginning to publicly acknowledge their role in the historic undermining of the US government. In his provocative new book Why Nothing Works, the self-styled “progressive” Marc Dunkelman argues that it was the left - in their cultural aversion to power over the last half century - who have broken the U.S. government. If progressives want to get something…. anything, in fact, done in America - from building high speed railways to more affordable housing - Dunkelman argues that the Democrats need to once again embrace positive government. Don't blame Trump for Musk's chainsaw, Dunkelman tells the Democrats. Blame yourselves.Here are the 5 KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways in this conversation with Dunkelman:* The Progressive Dilemma: Progressivism has two competing impulses that need to be in balance - one that seeks to centralize power to accomplish major projects (the "Hamiltonian" approach), and another that is suspicious of centralized authority and seeks to distribute power (the "Jeffersonian" approach). Since the 1960s, the balance has shifted heavily toward suspicion of power.* Crisis of Effective Governance: The current system has so many checks and constraints that even widely supported public interest projects can't get off the ground. Dunkelman cites the Biden administration's EV charger initiative that produced only 58 chargers from $5 billion in funding due to regulatory barriers and implementation challenges.* Historical Shift in Progressive Attitude: The 1960s-70s marked a turning point when progressive attitudes shifted from trusting centralized authority to deep skepticism. Dunkelman points to figures like Robert Moses (exposed in "The Power Broker") and Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley as embodying a form of centralized power that became viewed as problematic.* Political Consequences: This dysfunction in government has contributed to populist backlash, with voters supporting figures like Trump who promise to take a "sledgehammer" to institutions they see as failing. The inability to deliver visible results has undermined progressive credibility.* Path Forward: Progressives need to develop a new narrative focused on making government work effectively rather than just opposing power. Dunkelman suggests "permitting reform" and similar practical measures need to be central to the progressive agenda, rather than continuing the stale debate about moving left or right.Marc J.

Pour vous abonner à ma newsletter : https://hop.kessel.media/Il y a quelques jours, je me suis inscrit dans une nouvelle salle de sport. Une décision anodine mais si je vous en parle, c'est que mon critère décisif de choix en surprendrait plus d'un : son café ! Alors pourquoi je vous raconte ça ? Après treize années en tant qu'indépendant, j'ai appris à apprécier la liberté d'organiser mon temps, cette capacité à façonner mes journées selon mes envies.J'ai toujours choisi des appartements me permettant de faire cela dans les meilleures conditions et pourtant, la solitude des journées commence à peser.Partageant la raison principale de mon inscription dans cette gym avec mon ami John Krakauer, neuroscientifique américain reconnu, il m'a répondu par une formule qui résonne comme un diagnostic de notre époque : "we need to practice humans".En français dans le texte « Nous devons pratiquer l'art d'être humain ».A priori un non-sens et pourtant c'est tout l'inverse.Comme un muscle qui s'atrophie faute d'exercice, de manière insidieuse, notre capacité à créer du lien se délite dans le confort de notre isolement choisi.D'ailleurs, j'ai reçu sur Vlan ! une chercheuse du MIT, Valérie Gauthier pour nous aider à récréer du dialogue si cela vous intéresse.Cette semaine j'ai envie d'explorer ce que le magazine « The Atlantic » a justement nommé de « siècle anti-social ». Mais alors c'est quoi le paradoxe de notre solitude moderne ?La langue anglaise, dans sa précision, distingue "solitude" de "loneliness".Le premier terme décrit un choix enrichissant, une pause réparatrice. Le second évoque une forme d'isolement toxique, un repli qui nous éloigne de notre nature profondément sociale.Notre langue française peine à capturer cette nuance essentielle - "isolement" porte une connotation trop négative pour traduire fidèlement ce "loneliness" contemporain que nous nous imposons collectivement.Alors attentin, ressentir de la solitude est une réponse saine, comme le souligne le sociologue Eric Klinenberg.C'est cette énergie qui m'a poussé vers cette salle de sport, ce besoin viscéral de reconnecter avec le monde.Mais voilà le paradoxe de notre époque : nous répondons au sentiment de solitude par davantage de solitude, dans une spirale qui nous éloigne toujours plus les uns des autres.Les chiffres racontent une histoire paradoxale de notre temps.Pour chaque heure passée en présence d'autrui hors de chez soi, l'Américain moyen en passe 7 devant sa télévision.La fréquence des dîners entre amis a chuté de 45% entre 1970 et les années 2000.Nous croyons chercher le bien-être dans cette retraite, mais les études en psychologie moderne révèlent une réalité contre-intuitive : nous sommes particulièrement mauvais pour identifier ce qui nous rend véritablement heureux.En fait ce que l'on nomme le Me-time a un vrai coté sombre !!! Je vous explique ca !! Une expérience fascinante menée à Chicago par le psychologue Nick Epley l'illustre parfaitement. Il a demandé aux usagers du métro d'imaginer leur trajet idéal : la majorité a opté pour un voyage silencieux et solitaire, considérant qu'une conversation avec un inconnu serait désagréable.L'expérience a prouvé exactement l'inverse - les interactions, même brèves, ont significativement amélioré leur bien-être et plus longues étaient ces dernières, meilleur était l'impact.C'est ce que les chercheurs appellent le "paradoxe de la connexion sociale" : nous fuyons précisément ce qui pourrait nous rendre plus heureux.Pourtant même dans un espace social tel que le métro nous nous enfermons dans l'isolement de nos écouteurs qui annulent le bruit ou simplement en plaçant l'écran glacé de notre téléphone entre soi et les autres.Et ce qui est mauvais pour notre santé mentale fini par également être mauvais pour notre santé physique comme le prouvent de nombreuses études sur la longévité.Etre utile à sa communauté comme me le rappelait Jean-Marc Lemaître, Directeur de recherche à l'Inserm, est fondamental. Et par ailleurs il y a un prix politique à notre deconnexion sociale ! je vous explique Cette citation de Deleuze prend ici tout son sens : "Le pouvoir exige des corps tristes. Le pouvoir a besoin de tristesse parce qu'il peut la dominer. La joie est résistance, parce qu'elle n'abandonne pas."Sans verser dans le complotisme, l'idée n'est pas dire que le pouvoir en place nous invite à rester chez nous mais force est de constater que notre isolement volontaire fragilise le tissu social.Nous renforçons nos liens avec ceux qui pensent comme nous, tandis que notre seule exposition à des opinions divergentes se fait à travers le prisme déformant des algorithmes des reseaux sociaux.La nuance qu'apportait une discussion au café du commerce, la modération qu'insufflait une conversation avec un voisin de palier, tout cela s'efface progressivement.Trump a parfaitement profité de cette situation et l'a renforcé en créant son propre réseau social ironiquement appelé « Truth social » (selon le Washington Post, durant son 1er mandat il a menti 30 573 fois soit 21 mensonges par jour en moyenne - cqfd).Situation encore renforcée avec un Musk prenant la main sur X évidemment.Comme l'explique le sociologue Dunkelman, "si la famille nous apprend l'amour, la tribu nous apprend la loyauté et le village nous apprend la tolérance."Sans ce village, nous perdons notre capacité à comprendre des narratifs différents des nôtres.La réalité c'est que parler avec des personnes bienveillantes ayant des opinions légèrement différentes des nôtres permet de se modérer politiquement automatiquement.A partir du moment où nous n'avons plus d'interactions avec nos voisins, nous n'arrivons plus à nous connecter à la nuance et cela donne envie de renverser la table.D'ailleurs, cette déconnexion sociale est aussi en partie ce qui explique l'incompréhension chez les démocrates aux U.S. qui continuaient à parler des minorités invisibilisées quand la majorité des Américains n'arrivaient pas à joindre les 2 bouts.Nous ne parlons plus avec les mêmes faits ni les mêmes vérités quand nous pourrions être relativement d'accord la plupart du temps comme l'a prouvé la convention citoyenne en France.Mais dans cette période particulièrement dystopique, ce que j'observe surtout, c'est ce besoin de se réfugier avec un besoin croissant de se divertir.Or on le sait, l'extrême-droite gagne faute de participants, le nihilisme gagne partout et est particulièrement dangereux.Alors on écoute des podcasts d'humour ou léger, on regarde des séries et tout cela renforce le temps passé seul.C'est assez classique de gérer le stress à travers une forme d'isolement mais en réalité cela est inversement proportionnel à notre niveau de bonheur.Même nos rituels sociaux ont été touché mais l‘avez-vous réalisé ? Dans les années 1970, le foyer américain moyen recevait des amis plus d'une fois par mois. Aujourd'hui, ces rituels de socialisation s'effritent. Les livraisons à domicile représentent désormais 74% du trafic des restaurants aux U.S., transformant des lieux de convivialité en simples points de collecte.Cette évolution reflète une transformation plus profonde de notre rapport au temps et à l'espace. Entre 1965 et 1995, nous avons gagné collectivement six heures de temps libre par semaine - soit 300 heures par an.Au lieu d'investir ce temps dans des activités sociales, nous l'avons massivement réinvesti dans les écrans.Un choix qui semblait offrir plus de liberté mais qui, paradoxalement, nous a enfermés dans une nouvelle forme de solitude.Et je dois confesser, non sans gêne, que mon propre compteur est probablement plus élevé que les 30% de temps éveillé moyen passés devant un écran.Plus inquiétant, les études démontrent une corrélation directe : plus nous passons de temps devant nos écrans, moins nous sommes naturellement attirés par l'engagement social.Certes, une partie de ce temps d'écran est supposément "sociale", mais partager des liens TikTok ne remplace pas la richesse d'une conversation en face à face.Même dans le couple, il arrive régulièrement qu'un écran s'interfère entre les 2 personnes, la psychologue Esther Perel m'a parlé alors de solitude paradoxale dans cet épisode de Vlan !Vous n'êtes pas seul mais vous ressentez un sentiment d'ignorance qui parfois peut avoir des impacts délétères. Et alors si vous avez des enfants, l'impact chez les ado est halluninante Oui ! La transformation est encore plus frappante chez les jeunes générations.Les statistiques révèlent une réalité troublante : ils sont moins nombreux à vouloir passer leur permis, à sortir en "date", ou même simplement à voir des amis en dehors de l'école.Ils font moins de bêtises, ont moins de relations sexuelles, restent dans leurs chambres et quand ils sont en famille, mettent un écran entre eux et leurs parents.Le nombre d'adolescents qui voient quotidiennement un ami hors du cadre scolaire a chuté de 50% par rapport à 1990.L'anxiété atteint des sommets, particulièrement chez les jeunes filles, dont près de 50% rapportent une tristesse persistante.Ce n'est plus seulement une redéfinition de l'adolescence à laquelle nous assistons, mais une transformation profonde de sa psychologie même.Comme l'explique Nicholas Carr, nous avons perdu cette frontière salutaire entre "être seul" et "être dans la foule". Notre solitude est constamment parasitée par le flux ininterrompu des réseaux sociaux, créant un état paradoxal : plus connectés que jamais, mais aussi plus anxieux et épuisés.Un phénomène qui explique peut-être cette tendance étrange sur TikTok à célébrer l'annulation de diners ou de plans sociaux. Et alors il y a un truc que je n'avais pas du tout vu venir De manière surprenante - du moins pour moi - la courbe du bonheur est inversement proportionnelle au confort que nous construisons dans nos maisons, comme le note le sociologue Patrick Sharkey.Plus nous y sommes confortables moins nous voulons en sortir et plus nous nous recroquevillons sur nous-même.D'ailleurs, il note qu'un changement profond s'est opéré dans la conception même de nos espaces de vie. Les architectes ne débattent plus de la luminosité des pièces ou de l'ouverture des espaces, mais du nombre d'écrans qu'on peut y installer – il faut désormais s'assurer que l'on peut accrocher un écran dans chaque pièce.Le confort moderne s'est transformé en cocon digital, dessinant une architecture intrinsèquement antisociale.Les "routines matinale" exhibées sur les réseaux sociaux illustrent parfaitement cette mutation.Ces vidéos, souvent réalisée par des personnes fortunées au physique mettent en scène une existence quasi monacale : méditation matinale, séance de journaling, repas healthy, yoga... mais étrangement, pas trace d'enfants, de conjoint ou d'amis.La présence de l'autre y est souvent perçue comme une nuisance, une interruption dans cette chorégraphie parfaitement orchestrée du "me-time". Et ca pourrait être pire demain si on ne se réveille pasNotre fuite vers le digital pourrait bientôt prendre une nouvelle dimension avec l'émergence des IA conversationnelles.J'ai ce pressentiment que les réseaux sociaux traditionnels vont perdre du terrain au profit des conversations avec des intelligences artificielles.Cela peut sembler relever de la science-fiction, mais je le vois venir inexorablement.Le plus troublant n'est pas que nous ne réalisions pas parler à une machine - nous le savons parfaitement.Non, ce qui inquiète, c'est que nous choisissions consciemment ces interlocuteurs artificiels. La raison est simple : l'IA ne nous challenge jamais, elle nous valide constamment et reste disponible 24/7, sans le moindre jugement.Une facilité qui nous éloigne encore davantage de la complexité enrichissante des relations humaines.La prescription est pourtant simple pour quiconque évalue son bien-être en dessous de 7/10 : privilégier les appels téléphoniques aux messages texte, oser la conversation avec des inconnus dans un café, s'engager dans de nouvelles activités pour rencontrer des personnes ou simplement travailler depuis un espace social pour les indépendants.Ces petits pas peuvent sembler insignifiants, mais ils sont le début d'une transformation profonde.C'est précisément ce qui m'a poussé à choisir cette salle de sport avec mon amie Fatou.Un simple rituel matinal qui devient une norme, qui elle-même se transforme en valeur, pour finalement redéfinir mes comportements.Car au fond, tout commence par ces petits choix quotidiens.Face à ce défi, il ne s'agit pas simplement de nostalgie pour un monde pré-numérique.Notre besoin de connexion humaine n'est pas un luxe ou une option - c'est une nécessité vitale pour notre espèce.Les études démontrent invariablement que contrairement à nos croyances modernes, une plus grande maison, une voiture de luxe, ou un salaire doublé au prix de notre temps libre ne font que générer plus d'anxiété.Le véritable paradoxe de notre époque réside dans cette conviction que ce dont nous avons le plus besoin est du temps seul (« me-time).C'est peut-être la plus grande erreur de notre génération.Nous possédons d'innombrables opportunités de nous connecter les uns aux autres, et pourtant nous les rejetons systématiquement, une par une, jour après jour."Pratiquer l'humain" n'est donc pas un simple exercice de « développement personnel » - c'est un acte de résistance contre l'atomisation de notre société.Chaque conversation initiée, chaque sourire échangé, chaque moment de présence authentique compte. Ces interactions peuvent sembler insignifiantes face à l'ampleur du défi, mais elles sont les fils qui retissent le tissu social effiloché.Pour paraphraser Deleuze une dernière fois, la joie que nous procurent les vraies connexions humaines nous emmène dans des endroits où la tristesse de l'isolement ne nous mènerait jamais.Peut-être que la vraie révolution de notre époque serait simplement de redécouvrir le courage d'être présent les uns pour les autres, de cultiver ces petits moments d'humanité partagée qui, finalement, donnent tout son sens à notre existence.Car au fond, ce n'est pas tant la technologie qui nous isole que nos choix quotidiens.Et chacun de ces choix est une opportunité de réinventer notre façon d'être ensemble.Alors la prochaine fois que vous hésitez entre commander une livraison ou aller au restaurant, entre envoyer un message ou passer un appel, entre rester chez vous ou rejoindre des amis, rappelez-vous : ce n'est pas juste un choix pratique, c'est un choix de société.Et peut-être même, un choix de civilisation.

Why can't America do big things anymore? Marc Dunkelman, a fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, addresses this question in his new book, Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress and How to Get It Back. The book's inspiration came from his thinking about the now-vanished Pennsylvania Station, formerly New York City's majestic gateway, which was one of the most beautiful buildings in the country and a monument to metropolitan greatness. Its closure and demolition in the early 1960s amounted to what a New York Times editorial called a “monumental act of vandalism,” made more painful by the ugliness and disfunctionality of the modern facility that replaced it. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, starting in the early 1990s, made it his top legislative priority to build a new train hall in the nearby neoclassical post office building. Moynihan was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and one of the most powerful Democratic politicians in the land, and he secured agreement and funding from all of the relevant stakeholders — but still he could not get the new station built. The Moynihan Train Hall would not open until 2021, after nearly three decades of delays and setbacks. Marc Dunkelman for many years commuted into the seemingly unfixable Penn Station and wondered why New York's Democratic leaders were unable to make any progress in replacing it. The stagnation struck him as a vivid contrast to Robert Moses, the towering urban planner and public official, who had run roughshod over all opposition in mid-20th-century New York in the course of his massive redevelopment of the city, as described in Robert Caro's 1974 bestseller The Power Broker. When he looked into the history, Dunkelman realized that progressives have long swung back and forth between two opposing impulses. One is what he calls Hamiltonianism: the desire to achieve progress by empowering government and institutions to tackle big problems at the direction of strong leaders (like Robert Moses) and informed experts. The other is what he calls Jeffersonianism: the desire to prevent unaccountable centralized authorities (also like Robert Moses) from abusing ordinary citizens by empowering them to fight back. In this podcast discussion, Dunkelman analyzes the historic roots of these opposing impulses and explains how progressives ever since the 1960s have swung too far toward the Jeffersonian extreme. He describes how progressives lost working-class support by rendering government unable to deliver public goods like abundant and cheap housing, energy, and infrastructure. And he warns that incompetent government inevitably plays into the hands of populists who vilify government and claim: “I alone can fix it.”

Dunkelman, author of Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress―and How to Bring It Back, joins to discuss why modern institutions fail at delivering progress and what can be done to fix them. Plus, Trump's latest feud with Zelensky over Ukraine aid, and in The Spiel, the most electrifying deep dive into rare earth elements you never knew you needed.

REALIGNMENT NEWSLETTER: https://therealignment.substack.com/PURCHASE BOOKS AT OUR BOOKSHOP: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignmentEmail Us: realignmentpod@gmail.comMarc J. Dunkelman, author of Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress―and How to Bring It Back and a Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, joins The Realignment. Marc and Marshall discuss the central causes of government's inability to accomplish big projects, why America and the progressive movement swing between "Hamiltonian" and "Jeffersonian" moments, why the Hamiltonian nature of ambitious eras like the New Deal, New Frontier, and Great Society lead to Jeffersonian backlash, the limited impact and political failure of the Biden administration's EV charging station policy, and how to balance our need to protect the rights of individuals and local communities with the need to accomplish big goals. 

Why doesn't anything work? Why does it take so long to build housing, or green energy, or infrastructure? Why is the government so often inefficient and uncapable? Marc Dunkelman joins the podcast to discuss his new book Why Nothing Works. We talk about the history of the progressive movement and how two separate impulses - the centralization of power vs the decentralization of power - have caused progressive governance to run off the rails.

"The Middle Rings" – Philippians 2:14-18 Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Rally Day Sunday, September 11, 2022. "[Paul's] whole letter goes back to what I read as our scripture lesson: 'Do all things without murmuring and arguing. Shine like stars in your witness to give cause for what we all need, for we are living in a crooked and perverse time that needs cause to rejoice.' Paul writes with his heart on his sleeve in writing the church in Philippi because he knew the world needed faith communities like it to be a force of reconciliation and peace. I preach this sermon with my own heart on the sleeve of this robe because I think our world today needs faith communities like this one more than ever. I say that because I feel and sense what Dunkelman talks about—that there has been an erosion of middle ring communities that are formed to bind us rather than to reinforce what divides us." Read the manuscript on our website: https://www.spres.org/the-middle-rings/

Merry Christmas ya filthy animal. Well, not yet, but you know what I mean. This week we have David Dunkelman on and we crack open how useless nutcrackers actually are, being forced to attend something you don't want to attend, don't get drunk at your girlfriend's daughter's New Years party, and dropping out of highschool to play Fortnite is actually pretty rad. Happy holidays y'all, and our (I'm not afraid to blame Robin) apologies for some sound issues, it will be back to normal in 2019!Check out David's game at https://www.skypyre.com/blobs-game/ 

Several weeks back, Blue Ocean Faith's Dave Schmelzer invited members of Blue Ocean's mailing list who regarded themselves as "done with church" to fill that out for him. After a hundred detailed responses within the hour, Dave started compiling. Here, he, Christina Roberts and Ryan Bauers take a first pass at passing on what they've learned and what it might mean.  Mentioned in Today's Podcast: Church Refugees: Sociologists Reveal Why People Are Done with Church but not Their Faith | By Josh Packard and Ashleigh Hope The Vanishing Neighbor: The Transformation of American Community | By Marc J. Dunkelman What I'm Into: The Long Goodbye | By Raymond Chandler Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks | By Diana Butler Bass      

It's easy to think about how things were when you were a kid and fall into pure nostalgia. Nothing wrong with that but that's not where I'm going with my thoughts today. When I was a boy in the early/mid-1970's we knew all our neighbors. We lived in a tight-knit area where most everyone on our block knew each other. Most evenings neighbors would come out at night into their yards and have conversations. We also knew people who lived in surrounding blocks. I don't say that doesn't exist anymore. I do say, it was a lot more common then, than it is today.  We hear about how tribal people have become. This seems to center around politics. Is it the fault of politics? I think you will agree that tribalism has gone beyond everyday people to our elected officials in Washington D.C. and then some. Much the way people in communities don't talk political issues and opposing viewpoints (with the frequency I think they used to) neither do most of the members of Congress. Is that their fault or did we (the citizens) create that result? Of course, this conversation isn't limited to Washington. It shows up in all kinds of ways from local politics to neighborhood gatherings. Or the lack of neighborhood gatherings in many places. This week on the City Voice podcast my conversation is with Marc J. Dunkelman. He is the author of The Vanishing Neighbor, The Transformation Of The American Community. Marc is a Watson Institute fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University. His work at Brown focuses on how the evolving architecture of American community has affected the workings of government, the dynamism of the American economy, and the resilience of the American social safety net. During more than a dozen years working in Washington, Dunkelman served as a senior fellow at the Clinton Foundation, on the staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee, as legislative director and chief of staff to a member of the House of Representatives, and as the vice president for strategy and communications at the Democratic Leadership Council. His work has appeared in the New York Times, The Atlantic, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Harvard Business Review, Chronicle of Higher Education, Daily Beast, and National Affairs, among other publications. Our conversation ranges from our personal neighborhood experiences to the role of the U.S. Constitution and the chicken or the egg community or individual question.

Xiu Xiu's Shayna Dunkelman uses her formal artistic training as a vehicle to explore the musical unknown. She tells Joe about being the only Indonesian Jew in Tokyo; her mom's new age music career; her background in pure math; her interest in socialism; and why female musicians--and drummers in particular--have to be extraordinarily assertive.

Renowned historian Gordon Wood joins author and Watson Visiting Fellow Marc Dunkelman to discuss the polarized state of politics in America. From Downton Abbey to Trump Tower, Wood and Dunkelman question if American community is at a critical crossroad.

After the Battle of Gettysburg, a dead Union soldier was found near the center of town. He bore no identification, but in his hands he held a photograph of three children. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the efforts of one Philadelphia physician to track down the lost man's family using only the image of his children. We'll also sample a 9-year-old's comedy of manners and puzzle over a letter that copies itself. Intro: The mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, is a cat named Stubbs. According to multiple sources, the 3rd Earl of Darnley, an eccentric bachelor, suffered from the delusion that he was a teapot. Sources for our feature on Amos Humiston: Mark H.
