The Road From Serfdom
untitled 2019-12-09
Summary:
BKC faculty associate Danielle Allen ponders how Americans can become citizens again.
“Things were getting bad even before the 2016 election, but somehow, within just a few years, they have gotten worse. In an environment of intense partisan warfare, each side believes it has a claim to lead the nation based on its own set of values,” writes Allen. “Each side understands that it has more to gain from aggrievement than achievement, and each side beholds the other with contempt. Meanwhile, the republic seems to be unraveling.”
