Longstanding values of pluralism are being challenged. The nation is beset by deep political polarization, a fear that the economic order is no longer providing opportunities for all, and a technology revolution that may unsettle what it means to be uniquely human. \u003ci\u003eAmerica Unfinished\u003c\/i\u003e brings together more than 50 legal scholars on the Harvard Law School faculty to analyze this historic moment in American law and governance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by Alexandra Natapoff and Guy-Uriel Charles, the book coheres around the dramatic experiment in American legal governance that began in 1776, still highly contested after 250 years. Some essays explore the modern expansion of executive power, including its recent and dramatic willingness to use violence, both domestically and internationally. Other essays examine longstanding divides between workers, consumers, and markets, and the hard questions they raise about democratic accountability in our market-driven economy. And finally, some contributors address the future of our knowledge and governance institutions under pressure from the disruptions caused by technological and informational revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDynamic and engaging, the collection does nothing less than advance the core conversations necessary for a thriving polity, both at this historic moment and for decades to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Natapoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262060434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262060431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alexandra Natapoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517188092159,"sku":"9780262060431","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0302a6f8-f5f5-45e0-8f7f-3d9fb65645e9.jpg?v=1778730496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/america-unfinished-alexandra-natapoff-9780262060431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
