Description

America faces a number of problems today, such as climate change, income and wealth inequality and hyper partisanship.


Paul Fleming, an associate professor of public health at the University of Michigan, believes we need to focus more on preventing problems from happening in the first place.


He details this in his new book, “Imagine Doing Better,” which he hopes will help leaders get to the root of problems before crisis occurs.
