Written in a spirit of forward-looking, pragmatic optimism, Gradual is a call to arms for the millions of Americans who are turned off by the overheated rhetoric, gloomy outlook, and unrealistic aspirations that characterize so much of political discourse in the social media era. Based on the authors' real-world experience reforming the criminal justice system, Gradual makes the case that, even in an age of radical rhetoric, the best way to help the United States live up to its highest ideals is a commitment to continuous, incremental change.
