THIRD HOUR

1/4: The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America by  Victor Davis Hanson  (Author)

 

https://www.amazon.com/Dying-Citizen-Progressive-Globalization-Destroying/dp/154164753X

 

In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the historical forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class over the last fifty years has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined the idea of allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective civic sense of self. And a top-heavy administrative state has endangered personal liberty, along with formal efforts to weaken the Constitution.
