 American Podium: Howard Fineman - Thirteen American Arguments
Newsweek’s Howard Fineman believes that our nation’s process of never-ending argument is not only what defines us as a country but is what keeps us free. He shows that every one of these debates -- from the nation’s founding to the present day -- is rooted in thirteen essential questions—from what is a person, to who is an American, the role of faith, what can we know and say, and local vs. federal control. In The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates that Inspire and Define Our Country, Fineman shows that the issues that galvanized the Founding Fathers, should still inspire our leaders, thinkers, and citizens.
