Ganesh Sitaraman
September 5, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeWhenever you go to your local public library, send mail via the post office, or visit Yosemite, you are taking advantage of a longstanding American tradition: the public option. Some of the most useful and beloved institutions in American life are public options – yet they are seldom celebrated as such. Ganesh Sitaraman’s The Public Option (Harvard) (cowritten with Anne Alstott) challenges decades of received wisdom about the proper role of government and considers the improvements that could come from the expansion of public options.
