SUMMARY:BZBI Book Talk with Member Brett Mandel: "Philadelphia\, Corrupt and Consenting"
DESCRIPTION:In a 2020 candidate debate\, President Trump declared\, “Bad things happen in Philadelphia” – and later used the very real truth of Philadelphia corruption to lend credence to the idea that the election was stolen. More than a century after muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens derided the city of Philadelphia as being “corrupt and contented\,” Philadelphia still struggles to rise above this unfortunate characterization. \nIn his book\, Philadelphia\, Corrupt and Consenting (Temple University Press)\, author and BZBI member Brett Mandel tells the story of our city’s confrontation with a history that threatens its future. During this discussion\, Brett will talk about both his book and Philadelphia’s importance in the upcoming national election. Brett Mandel has been a reform-oriented government official and political insider who has exposed and explored Philadelphia’s networks of corruption. Philadelphia\, Corrupt and Consenting provides practical\, achievable policies and actions that can produce positive change in Philadelphia and elsewhere. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase after the presentation. CLICK HERE to RSVP.
