Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As the end of the millenium approaches, observers have noted a distinct political shift from the old traditional emphasis on bread-and-butter economic issues to a focus on quality of life concerns such as consumer protection and environmental issues. A panel of experts joins Kojo to discuss this trend which has been labeled “the new liberalism.”
Guests
- Jeffrey Berry Author, "The New Liberalism: The Rising Power of Citizen Groups," professor of political science, Tufts University
- Randy Shaw Author, "Reclaiming America: Nike, Clean Air, and the New National Activism", University of California Press
