Praise for The Next Deal

"The Next Deal lays out a roadmap of what Democrats should fight for in the 21st century." 

- Former Vice President Al Gore

"Andrei Cherny's The Next Deal is a refreshing antidote to political dialogue which too often disappoints both participants and observers. While today's debate often seems stuck in old battles and new issues are debated absent context, ideology, or a sense of national purpose, Cherny offers an intellectual framework on which a new political paradigm might be constructed -- not just proposed policies, but a rationale to guide public policy. His writing - crisp, quick, engaging, and witty - reveals mature insight from a new generation and will interest anyone eager to tackle the next generation of political challenges."

- Senator John F. Kerry

"Let me be clear. While Andrei Cherny is a liberal, he has written one of the most thoughtful books about public policy in the information age to be produced by anyone of any ideological background or from any partisan belief...I disagree deeply with some of Cherny's ideas, but I am in awe of his ability to take big concepts and embed them in ...political history in a manner which will give them context and meaning for any citizen who wishes to study them."

- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich

"Melding Jefferson and the Internet, Andrei Cherny has written a trenchant and insightful guide to where the "Choice Generation" will take us from here. Short and deep."

- Jonathan Alter, Newsweek

"Andrei Cherny is wise beyond his years, with an appreciation of long-range historical trends and an acuteness in analyzing short-term political phenomena. Democrats, New and Old; Republicans, conservative and moderate; Independents, of all leanings--all of us can learn much about the politics of the future from one who may turn out to be one of its more creative thinkers."

- Michael Barone, Senior Writer, U.S. News & World Report and Co-author, The Almanac of American Politics

"It's impossible to lose faith in America's future when we produce smart, passionate and committed young patriots like Andrei Cherny. The Next Deal is a rousing clarion call from a native son, an absorbing and thoughtful humanistic polemic on how the Digital Revolution can enhance our civic lives. I highly recommend it."

- Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History and Fellow at the Baker Institute at Rice University

"Andrei Cherny is smart, bold, thoughtful--and a fine writer. Part of a new breed of young political thinkers who seek to make America's Progressive tradition relevant to a radically new economy, Cherny offers an important manifesto, a hopeful vision, and pithy political analysis along the way. The Next Deal will be one of the most debated books of the year because it's a pleasure to read and challenges positions all across the political spectrum (including some of my own). Whether you agree with it or argue with it, you'll be grateful you read it."

- E. J. Dionne Jr., author of Why Americans Hate Politics and They Only Look Dead

"Andrei Cherny has written the first political manifesto of the 21st century. He is right on target: the Information Age demands that we reinvent not only government but also politics and community."- David Osborne, co-author of Reinventing Government, Banishing Bureaucracy, and The Reinventor's Fieldbook.

"America is long overdue for a new political philosophy, and Andrei Cherny is one of the bright young people trying to develop one. The Next Deal tells us where our country is going -- and how we best can get there."

- Alan Wolfe, author of One Nation, After All : What Americans Really Think About God, Country, Family, Racism, Welfare, Immigration, Homosexuality, Work, The Right, The Left and Each Other
