HIGHLIGHTS of John Podesta's discussion of his new book, The Power of Progress with SEIU's Andy Stren. Podesta the former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton and founder of the Center for American Progress, explains how progressive values changed America in the wake of the Gilded Age and how these values can shape policy to work for the American people. Tapping the spirit of great progressive leaders from Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt to Martin Luther King Jr., The Power of Progress provides the road map toward a government responsive to the needs of its citizens, one that is focused on our generation's greatest challenges: combating global warming, growing our economy and expanding the middle class, and meeting Americaâs 21st century security challenges.
