From immigration reform to energy resources, political paralysis to inequality and extremism, we are beset by a raft of huge and seemingly insurmountable challenges. What has gone under-reported until now are the success stories. Taking on ten of the knottiest challenges we face today, the author examines unsung leaders' bold and innovative attempts to solve some of the most intractable problems governments have struggled with for decades - and describes how, against all odds and expectations, they found solutions hiding in plain sight. In his close analysis of initiatives as diverse as Brazil's' Bolsa Familia programme, Indonesia's campaign against extremism, Canada's early embrace of multiculturalism and Mayor Michael Bloomberg's reform of the NYPD, the author distils for us the universally applicable measures that have boosted equality, incomes, cooperation and cohesion in wildly diverse societies.
