520    "America is poised to lead the 21st century, as it led the
       20th. The country is at a tipping point in the battle for 
       its own renewal, a renewal that will allow America to be 
       exceptional again. Our economy is on the move, fueled by 
       revolutions in energy, immigration, innovation, big data 
       and advanced manufacturing. America's energy independence 
       has set off shockwaves. Just as important are the social 
       transformations that are making the country younger, a 
       home to immigrants, and ever more racially and culturally 
       diverse. While most other countries struggle profoundly 
       with immigration and religious and racial differences, 
       America's on a path to a multicultural identity. Those 
       revolutions are also producing a new American majority 
       that embraces new values and new politics. Republicans are
       waging a counter-revolution and that is why America looks 
       gridlocked. These transformations also leave people 
       struggling and politics corrupted. The American public is 
       demanding that the country address the dark side of our 
       progress--and reforms are starting to happen. That is why 
       Democrats will get to lead an era of reform and renewal 
       comparable to the Progressive era that mitigated the 
       excesses of the Industrial Revolution. In this incisive 
       book, expert strategist Greenberg draws on years of 
       research and polling to illuminate how America is far from
       being gridlocked, and he articulates a powerful vision of 
       how American politics and America can be renewed"--
