In this edition of the Bedrosian Book Club Podcast, Raphael Bostic, William G. Resh, and Ronald O. Loveridge discuss political theorist Benjamin Barber's book If Mayors Ruled the World. The book outlines Barber's hypothesis that cities are in better position to solve some global problems. Can cities provide the leadership that nations states used to by mobilizing local civic action and the sharing of best practices between cities?
