{"product_id":"9780786736010","title":"The Second Bill of Rights: FDR's Unfinished Revolution--And Why We Need It More Than Ever","description":"In 1944, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a State of the Union Address that was arguably the greatest political speech of the twentieth century. In it, Roosevelt grappled with the definition of security in a democracy, concluding that \"unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world.\" To help ensure that security, he proposed a \"Second Bill of Rights\" -- economic rights that he saw as necessary to political freedom. Many of the great legislative achievements of the past sixty years stem from Roosevelt's vision. Using this speech as a launching point, Cass R. Sunstein shows how these rights are vital to the continuing security of our nation. This is an ambitious, sweeping book that argues for a new vision of FDR, of constitutional history, and our current political scene.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077739397360,"sku":"9780786736010","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786736010_p0.jpg?v=1763804951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786736010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
