Turning Point: Moving Beyond Neoconservation
by Philip DeMont, Gene Lang, J. Eugene Lang
Category: Political Science

German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder calls it the "New Center." British PM Tony Blair labels it the "Third Way." And Bill Clinton, that survivor of all survivors, has drummed his rhetoric into an unbeatable middle-of-the-road electoral platform. Gene Lang and Philip DeMont focus on former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich's vision of governments that leave the private sector alone while making the workforce as smart and adaptable as possible. The authors also argue that Canada needs to beef up the quality of its workforce -- improving health care and education while ignoring the false panacea of tax cuts.
