内容説明
At the heart of "Imagining America in 2033" is the idea of progress with fairness on which so much of the best of America has been built. Part utopia, part realism, "Imagining America in 2033" is also a liberal's dream of life after Bush and a set of progressive yet practical guidelines for restoring sanity and intelligence to nearly every aspect of public and political life post-Bush. Anyone concerned about the country's future will find food for thought here.Herbert Gans, one of the most influential and prolific sociologists and social commentators of our time, achieves a realistic utopia set mostly in the second and third decade of the century. In Gans's imagined future, elected officials, policy makers, activists, and citizens have transformed America into a much more humane and effective democracy. The book features three Democratic presidents, the major new domestic, foreign, and social policies their administrations pursue, and the political battles they fight.Gans provides chapters on an exhaustive list of social, political, and economic policy issues: jobs; war; tax reform; global warming; economic, racial, gender, and religious equality; family policies, the creation of affordable housing and energy saving communities; education reform; and more.
While hopeful and idealistic, many of Gans' proposals - such as the concept of the Nurse Doctor, in which nurses increasingly take on tasks previously handled only be medical doctors within a framework of national health care - are ideas innovative enough that they should be taken seriously by actual policy-makers."Imagining America in 2033" is lively and accessible, with an appeal for general readers, policy hounds, and the politically savvy alike.
