Prof. Henry Nau on the 20th Century Lessons of Communism and Socialism

Dr. Henry Nau joins to help us explore the lessons learned during the 20th century and apply them to today. In America, we’re struggling for the soul of the country — a battle between those who want to keep America as it was founded — an America where capitalism and the American Dream reign supreme — and those who are pushing America to follow in the footsteps of communism and socialism. We explore this trend and what the ultimate cost will be to Americans if the 21st century turns a blind eye to history. Dr. Henry R. Nau is Professor Emeritus of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University. Previously he served on President Reagan's National Security Council as the senior staff member responsible for international economic affairs. Among other duties, he was the White House sherpa for several Annual G-7 Economic Summits and also served in the Department of State from 1975-1977 as Special Assistant to the Under Secretary for Economic Affairs. In 1977, he received the State Department's Superior Honor Award. He is the author of numerous books, including his latest, Conservative Internationalism: Armed Diplomacy Under Jefferson, Polk, Truman, and Reagan, and has published numerous articles in scholarly and policy journals.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today’s news cycle and are seeking the truth.
