John F. Wasik - Author

(4/22/21) Some of Abraham Lincoln’s most enduring policies came to him before the Civil War, visions of a country linked by railroads running ocean to ocean, canals turning small towns into bustling cities, public works bridging farmers to market. John F. Wasik’s new book Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy tracks Lincoln from his time in the 1830s as a young Illinois state legislator pushing for internal improvements to his presidential fight to build the Transcontinental Railroad. Join us for a look at why Lincoln believed these brick-and-mortar developments were essential to lifting citizens above poverty in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
