SUMMARY:Powerlessness and Populism: Does America Need a New Governing Vision?
DESCRIPTION:A forum to explore overhaul of broken government operating structures\nThis forum will address the broad resentment at government and social institutions and debate the provocative overhaul thesis of the new book by Philip K. Howard\, Everyday Freedom: Designing the Framework for a Flourishing Society (Rodin 2024). Howard argues that post-1960s governing frameworks disempower Americans in their daily choices\, causing public failure and alienation\, and must be replaced by simpler frameworks activated by human responsibility. \n  \nThe half-day forum will have three panels:\n\nPowerlessness in Government and Society: Is the problem political or structural?\nHelping Institutions Flourish Again: How to re-empower responsible cultures\nIs Change Impossible or Inevitable?: Proposing new public operating visions\n\n  \nPanelists include:\nPhilip K. Howard\, Common Good \nDonald Kettl\, University of Texas at Austin \nKevin Kosar\, American Enterprise Institute \nWill Marshall\, Progressive Policy Institute \nMichael Mazarr\, RAND \nMegan McArdle\, Washington Post \nJennifer Brick Murtazashvili\, University of Pittsburgh \nSally Satel\, American Enterprise Institute \nMene Ukueberuwa\, Wall Street Journal \nMichael Wear\, Center for Christianity and Public Life \nJason Willick\, Washington Post \nMichele Zanini\, Management Lab
