Read excerpt
This commentary was originally published by CalMatters. Sign up for their newsletters. Nearly a half-century ago, while addressing a group of high school students, Jerry Brown enunciated his canoe theory of governance. “The way you have to approach the political process is something like piloting a canoe,” Brown said in 1979, referring to his often abrupt changes of policy. “If you stand up on one side you’ll fall in. If you stand up on the other side you’ll fall in. But if you paddle a little b
