This week, Democracy publisher and donor Bernard L. Schwartz releases his memoir Just Say Yes (Greenleaf Book Group Press), a recounting of his life, his experiences as one of America’s leading CEOs, his involvement in Democratic politics, and his thoughts on our country’s future. In conjunction with the book’s launch, Democracy Editor Michael Tomasky conducted a Q&A with Schwartz. We are also pleased to present two short excerpts from Just Say Yes.
