'Suicide of the West' by Jonah Goldberg
In an age of tribalism, nationalism, populism and identity politics, are we ungratefully throwing away what made the West the free and prosperous place it is today? National Review Senior Editor and AEI Fellow Jonah Goldberg diagnoses our civilization's ills and tries to offer some solutions.
This lecture is open to the public and will be followed by a reception.
About the series
The polarized and compartmentalized intellectual climate on American campuses both mirrors and contributes to similar maladies in American civic life.
To examine the problem and begin to discuss possible solutions both at the level of the campus and society, the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership, together with its partners in the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, is hosting a lecture series and conference, "Polarization and Civil Disagreement: Confronting America’s Civic Crisis."
