Can American capitalism be improved with a more robust safety net? From a practical standpoint, could Scandinavia’s model of social democracy be implemented in America? And from a political standpoint, is such an agenda even viable in the near future? We discuss these questions, and more, with Lane Kenworthy.
Lane is a professor of sociology and the Yankelovich Chair in Social Thought at the University of California-San Diego. He is the author of several books, including Social Democratic America, How Big Should Our Government Be?, and, most recently, Social Democratic Capitalism.
