Since his arrival on the political scene in 1968, Jerry Brown, three-time presidential candidate, former governor of California, and current mayor of Oakland, has proven himself one of the world's leading progressive thinkers. An original proponent of racial and gender equity, a champion of radical political reform, and an outspoken advocate of education reform and urban rejuvenation, Brown is also one of the first public figures to explore the relationship between spirituality and politics. This book examines American politics from the inside, uncovering the roots of a system in desperate need of ethical and financial overhaul.
