Kettering Review Winter 2019
Public goods are often seen as the domain of institutions and experts. This issue of the Review considers matters a little differently. How might formal public institutions work with informal publics? How can organizations and institutions align themselves with the work of a democratic citizenry to foster a better functioning democracy? These simple questions form the backbone of this issue of the Kettering Review.
The Kettering Review is a journal of ideas and activities dedicated to improving the quality of public life in American democracy. The Review is edited by Noëlle McAfee and Nicholas A. Felts.
