Fred Stafford recommends Why Nothing Works as a concise narrative of American progressive thought, arguing the book explains how persistent tension between Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian impulses produced a stalled or 'stuck' political state; he adds it’s more useful than Abundance for understanding contemporary developments.

My thread last year on "Why Nothing Works"

"Why Nothing Works." Can't recommend this book enough. A narrative of history of American progressive thinking as tension btw Jeffersonian & Hamiltonian impulses, ultimately leading to stuck state. Seems more useful than "Abundance" to understand how we got here. 1/
