The New Chicago Way

Ed Bachrach, Austin Berg

For all the wrong reasons, a national spotlight is shining on Chicago. The underlying problem, contend Ed Bachrach and Austin Berg, is that deliberative democracy is dead in the city. On this podcast – which compliments their book, The New Chicago Way – Bachrach and Berg tackle the city's key issues, interview top experts from around the country and lay out a blueprint for change.
