Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era (2012) is a book by journalist Michael Grunwald. Grunwald gives an inside account of the 2009 Recovery Act stimulus: how it was passed, where the money went and how it changed energy, education, health care and infrastructure. He argues that the law was a more ambitious experiment in government than its critics or supporters admitted.

- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is "The New New Deal" by Michael Grunwald. The book is an extraordinary achievement, a detailed yet highly readable account of the 2009 stimulus, where the money went and why. Had Barack Obama read this book he would have been able to defend his own policies better during his debate with Mitt Romney.”
