Author Marc Dunkelman discusses his new book Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress―and How to Bring It Back. Dunkelman contrasts past centralized efficiency with today’s slow, decentralized system full of procedural roadblocks. They close with a hopeful look at reform efforts, like Josh Shapiro’s in Pennsylvania, as one potential model.
