Bright, Infinite Future by Mark Green

Bright, Infinite Future by Mark Green

Blending the historical, biographical and political, the wide-ranging Bright, Infinite Future describes how the values of the '60s are creating a new progressive majority in '16. The multi-faceted Mark Green bestselling author, public interest lawyer and elected official is our guide through contemporary American politics as Nader launches the modern consumer movement; Clinton wins the 1992 New York primary and therefore the nomination; and Green loses the closest NYC mayoral election in a century to Bloomberg after 9/11 in a perfect storm of money, terrorism, and race.

As Public Advocate, Green is Mayor Giuiliani's bete noir, exposing NYPD's racial profiling, killing off Joe Camel, and then running against a Murderer's Row of Cuomo, de Blasio, Schumer, and Bloomberg.

Starting with the consequential movements of the '60s, Green shows how a rising tide of minority and millennial voters, GOP's lurch from mainstream to extreme, and the contrast between the presidencies of Bush and Clinton Obama are leading to a new era of Progressive Patriotism built on four cornerstones: an Economy-for-All, Democracy-for-All, Compact on Race & Justice, and Sustainable Climate.

Full of behind-the-scenes stories about bold-faced names, this will be the 2016 book for liberals looking to a bright, infinite future (Leonard Bernstein), conservatives wanting to know what they're up against, and readers who want to know what-it-takes in the arena.
