Manage episode 417193581 series 1171999
Seth David Radwell, author of American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation, which won the International Book Award for Best General Nonfiction in 2023, characterizes the forces driving the schisms in our society. With a view of the past and an analysis of what supports a healthy democracy, part of the solution, he contends, is the election system needs structural reform. There is a need for more competitive races and open primaries, focusing on issues, not just the candidates trying to be the most extreme in the primaries.
We talk about:
- Role social media is playing to fuel these divisions
- Current student protests and protest movements throughout history
- Disinformation, censorship, revisionism, hate speech
- Responsibility of the business sector to help heal the divide
- Building resilience and conducting open, civil conversations
- Overcoming voter apathy and addressing the frustrated majority
- How moving forward and holding on to a path creates tension in societies
- Why he is optimistic for the future of our democracy
