We Are Back
from Deeper Dive - DSU's podcast
After an extended break, Walker and Professor Dungey return! In this, "we are back," episode we examine where we are, and identify three main ideas to contextualize what is happening and where we are going. First, we must always remember that democracies are inherently fragile, and sometimes dangerous. Second, we discuss the idea that the legal and political institutions and processes of American Democracy are human inventions that are hard to build and hold, but easy to lose. Third, we discuss the crisis of legitimacy that threatens to dissolve the American political experiment. We are living in and through the most dangerous times in our economic, social, and political history. Can a culture without a "center" keep the center from dissolving.
