Bill Bradley is arguably one of the most well-versed public
figures of our time. The eighteen-year New Jersey Senator, financial and
investment adviser, Olympic and NBA athlete, national radio
host, and bestselling author has lived in the United States
as both political insider and outsider, national sports
celebrity and behind-the-scenes confidante, leader and
teammate. His varied experiences help to inform his unique
and much-sought-after point of view on Washington and the
country at large.
In We Can All Do Better, for the first time since the
financial meltdown and since the worst of the intensifying
political gridlock, Bradley offers his own concise,
powerful, and highly personal review of the state of the
nation. Bradley argues that government is not the problem.
He criticizes the role of money and politics, explains how
continuing on our existing foreign policy, electoral, and
economic paths will mean a diminished future, and lays out
exactly what needs to be done to reverse course.
Breaking from the intransigent long-held viewpoints of both
political parties, and with careful attention to our
nation’s history, Bradley passionately lays out his
narrative. He offers a no-holds-barred prescription on
subjects including job creation, deficit reduction,
education, and immigration. While equally critical of the
approaches of the Tea Party and Occupy Movements, he
champions the power of individual Americans to organize,
speak out, bridge divisions, and he calls on the media to
assume a more responsible role in our national life. As this moving call to arms reminds us, we can all—elected
officials, private citizens, presidents—do a better job of
moving our country forward. Bradley is perhaps the best
guide imaginable, with his firsthand knowledge of
governments’ inner-workings, the country’s diversity, and
the untapped potential of the American people.
