Going Big

Robert Kuttner's 'Going Big' examines Franklin D. Roosevelt's economic legacy and draws lessons for contemporary progressive policy debates, particularly around President Biden's agenda.

The book argues that bold public investment and regulatory reform are necessary to address economic inequality and sustain democratic institutions.

Kuttner situates current policy choices within historical precedents, showing how political will and organizing can make transformative programs possible.

He critiques centrist austerity and offers a case for expansive government action in the public interest.

The work blends history, policy analysis, and political argument to advocate for a renewed progressive economic program.
