Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - America does not lack policies. It lacks the courage to use them.In the United States, political debates rage louder than ever - yet nothing changes. Healthcare remains broken, housing costs soar, student debt crushes generations, and climate action stalls. To outside observers, this looks like gridlock. To Ping Xu, it is something more dangerous: a nation trapped not by partisanship, but by fear.In America Has No Left, Xu argues that the U.S. has hollowed out its progressive policy tradition, replacing it with systems designed to prevent loss rather than pursue progress. Policymakers fear backlash more than failure. Institutions prioritize protecting themselves from blame over delivering public benefit. And citizens have been taught to fear change itself - even when the status quo is failing them.Xu traces how this fear-based governance emerged from the Cold War, when anti-socialism panic rewired U.S. politics around suspicion and austerity. She shows how this mindset corroded institutions from within, turning bold programs into risk-averse bureaucracies. Public agencies became fortresses of distrust, layering audits, legal shields, and procedural barriers to avoid being accused of waste. The result is a system that spends billions to 'guard ten dollars' - consuming its own resources in fear of the very public it was meant to serve.But Xu does not stop at diagnosis. Drawing on global comparisons, she contrasts America's stagnation with more adaptive, trust-based models in Finland, Uruguay, and Germany - countries that invest in people as assets rather than treating them as risks. She outlines how the U.S. can escape its fear trap through trust-centered reforms: simplifying social safety nets, empowering frontline governance, reframing public programs as long-term investments, and rebuilding policy around care rather than control.America Has No Left is a wake-up call for a nation that has mistaken fear for realism. It challenges Americans to remember that progress requires risk - and that democracy dies not only from extremism, but also from paralysis.…
