American Decline Is a Choice. Let's Not Choose It.
About this episode
Between the catastrophic American withdrawal from Afghanistan, an endless pandemic, a broken education system, and competent leaders nowhere in sight, it can feel like America is in a constant state of meltdown.
On today's episode, renowned historian Niall Ferguson answers the big questions: how did we get here? Is American decline inevitable? And if not, what can be done to renew the culture and the country?
Niall is the author of nearly 20 books. His latest is: "Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe."
