The Conscience of a Liberal
Reclaiming the Compassionate Agenda
The Minnesota senator's account of grassroots organising and the politics he thought worth defending.
Paul Wellstone taught political science before winning a Senate seat from Minnesota as an underdog, and this book sets out the politics he practised: organising from the bottom, refusing corporate money, and arguing that a liberalism worth the name has to be about people who are not in the room. Published two years before his death in a plane crash in 2002.
