Power and Progress: Navigating Governance
This chapter explores two contrasting approaches to addressing societal issues—centralized power versus individual empowerment—framed within the historical context of progressivism. It critiques current government initiatives, particularly under the Biden administration, highlighting frustrations about inefficacy and systemic flaws that hinder effective action. The discussion reflects on the deep-rooted cultural aversion to power, tracing the evolution of public trust in governance and the complex trade-offs in environmental policy.
