Dr. Benjamin Barber: City Power Countering Trump

December 13, 2016 – Segment 1

We speak with Dr. Benjamin Barber, about the article he wrote for The Nation last month, “Can Cities Counter the Power of President-Elect Donald Trump? As the federal government turns toward nationalism, local governments will become crucial beacons of pluralism.”

Dr. Barber is a distinguished Senior Fellow at the Fordham Law School Urban Consortium, Founder of the Global Parliament of Mayors and the author of If Mayors Ruled the World and the forthcoming book Cool Cities.
