It seems increasingly common to hear the view that America is in decline and that its political institutions have been fully captured by corporations and special interests. Yet the country has also endured and recovered from extraordinary crises throughout its history including the Civil War, the Great Depression, the corruption of the Gilded Age, and two world wars.
In my view, one of America’s defining strengths has been its adaptability and repeated ability to confront major structural problems. I’m curious how you view today’s challenges in comparison to those of the past. Do you think the current problems are ultimately addressable, and if so, what mechanisms or forces historically initiated and enabled course correction? What might serve that role in the present moment?
Who would win in a fight, Michael Tracey or Jim Acosta?
