Interview on CNN about "The Next Deal"
The inspiration really grew out of what I saw while I was working in the White House, which was that really both political parties needed to rethink what they were about in the 21st century, especially with the rise of the new economy and with new ways of working and living for people all over the country.
The basic thesis of the book is that what government needs to do is to do for average Americans what they get from the new economy and from the Internet and from today's technologies and today's workplaces, a lot more choices, a lot more personal decision-making power. Instead of one size fits all programs give people choices about the types of programs that are closest to them.
