Frustration with government is widespread, but neither party has a vision for making things work sensibly. In Saving Can-Do, Philip K. Howard shows how to revive our freedom to roll up our sleeves and act like Americans again.

All societies periodically undergo a major shift in the social order. America is at one of those moments of change, but neither political party is offering a vision for overhaul. President Trump’s approach to government is to swing a wrecking ball at the status quo. But how will Washington work better the day after DOGE? Democrats are in denial, waiting their turn to run a bloated government that Americans increasingly loathe.

Editorial Review:

"This brief, accessible and powerfully persuasive book assesses the symptoms of our ailing polity and concludes that we are suffering from a widespread loss of agency, the lifeblood of any free society." — Yuval Levin, The Wall Street Journal
