America is currently experiencing an era of political turbulence. Old hierarchies and institutions are crumbling. From the election of Donald Trump to the rise of major political parties and the proliferation of grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter and $15 Now, people across the country are reclaiming power.

Are you ready for an era of emerging citizen power? Do you understand what power really is, how it is acquired, who uses it, and how you can claim and exercise it?

A lifelong student of civic power, Eric Liu provides answers in this inspiring and provocative book. Using examples from the left and the right, past and present, he reveals the basic laws of power, demonstrates that we can all generate power, and then shows us, step by step, how to do so. The reform strategies he discusses will help every reader understand our world today. If you want to be more than a spectator in this new era, you should read this book.
