Podcast appearances and mentions of greg berman

If you spend enough time in Washington D.C., you come to realize that activists of left and right, for all their mutual enmities, unanimously agree on the need for radical and even destructive change. They agree that gradualism is boring, compromise is betrayal, and that the finest thing in life is, as the notable political philosopher Conan the Barbarian once observed, to crush your enemies and drive them before you. But as Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox argue in their terrific 2023 book Gradual: The Case for Incremental Change in a Radical Age, bold and sweeping policy proposals rarely come to pass and usually fail when they do. What does succeed is unsatisfactory but pragmatic compromise and gradual, sustained change. As the authors put it, “Over time, incremental reforms can add up to something truly transformative.”Berman and Fox came to this view over the course of decades of work in criminal justice reform, principally in New York City. They witnessed first-hand how homicides fell by 82% between 1990 and 2009, while the rate of car thefts plummeted by 93% -- not because of heroic leadership or sweeping reforms but because of incremental and often small-scale changes that, over time, made New York into one of the safest big cities in America. They identify a similar dynamic at work in the evolution of the Social Security program, which when it was created during the 1930s lacked the popular appeal of contemporary proposals for radical reform but developed in ways that would make it the country's most popular government program. The cautious and small-scale initial approach of Social Security's architects allowed them to learn from their mistakes and correct them. And the method of funding the program through a payroll tax meant that it paid little in the first years of its existence but gained long-term sustainability since workers came to see it as a benefit they had earned through lifetime contributions, not big-government welfare.In this podcast discussion, Berman and Fox talk about how radical change is sometimes necessary — as with the abolition of slavery — but that modest changes are likelier to succeed in the long run in a country as polarized and partisan as our own. They talk about why the “Secret Congress” makes our national legislature more successful than most observers usually realize, why implementation matters as much or more than policy conception, and why supporting gradual but sustained change is not at all (as radicals frequently claim) mere acceptance of the status quo. 

“Esses eram os dias em que sonhávamos com todas as grandes coisas que faríamos” ouve-se, numa adaptação, na música que encerra esta edição da Comissão Política. Estes são os dias em que os novos ministros sonham com o pretendem fazer. Mesmo que não saibam bem como, nem até quando. Está aberta a XVI legislatura e a comissão política mantém-se em funções. Sem acordos revogados, nem desentendimentos de cavalheiros. Aqui mantém-se o regular funcionamento das instituições ainda que num ritmo de permanente desatualização. Enquanto esperamos pela posse dos ministros e pelo fim do prolongamento silêncio de Luís Montenegro, reunimos os comissários habituais e convidamos o João Diogo Correia, jornalista do Expresso que acompanha o PSD, para analisar o início da legislatura e a difícil eleição de Aguiar-Branco. Nesta edição, também avaliamos o governo que, como todos, se quer se combate. Para os political mais junkies ficam, a sua pedido, as recomendações de livros deixadas pelo comissário David Dinis; Faces Of Moderation, The Art Of Balance In An Age Of Extremes de Aurelian Craiutu; Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present, de Fareed Zacaria; e Gradual: The Case for Incremental Change in a Radical Age, de Greg Berman. Esta edição tem a sonoplastia de João Martins e a ilustração de Tiago Pereira SantosSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many experts believe that we are at a fulcrum moment in history, a time that demands radical shifts in thinking and policymaking. Calls for bold change are everywhere these days, particularly on social media, but is this actually the best way to make the world a better place? In Gradual: The Case for Incremental Change in a Radical Age (Oxford UP, 2023), Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox argue that, contrary to the aspirations of activists on both the right and the left, incremental reform is the best path forward. They begin by emphasizing that the very structure of American government explicitly and implicitly favors incrementalism. Particularly in a time of intense polarization, any effort to advance radical change will inevitably engender significant backlash. As Berman and Fox make clear, polling shows little public support for bold change. The public is, however, willing to endorse a broad range of incremental reforms that, if implemented, would reduce suffering and improve fairness. To illustrate how incremental changes can add up to significant change over time, Berman and Fox provide portraits of "heroic incrementalists" who have produced meaningful reforms in a variety of areas, from the expansion of Social Security to more recent efforts to reduce crime and incarceration. Gradual is a bracing call for a "radical realism" that prioritizes honesty, humility, nuance, and respect in an effort to transcend political polarization and reduce the conflict produced by social media.

In this session, originally recorded on September 18, 2018, we look at the power of local solutions for stronger communities with Karen Pitre. For the full transcript, visit https://maytree.com/five-good-ideas/five-good-ideas-about-the-power-of-local-solutions-for-stronger-communities/. The most successful solutions for building stronger communities have local support and are driven by local champions. Nonprofits, school boards, libraries, municipalities, community health centres, and many others understand that. They see the value in the local, and they’re not afraid of the challenges in developing local solutions with multiple partners. In her presentation, Karen Pitre offers five good ideas on how we can support local champions and break down the silos that get in the way of local initiatives. Five Good Ideas 1. Bigger is not always better 2. Don’t give up – where there is will there is a way 3. Money is not the only answer; little things can make a big difference 4. You may have to give something up to make it work 5. It is important to listen, but it is also important to hear Resources 1 Interested in building local capacity for informed community planning in Ontario?
