Description

Americans today are frustrated and anxious. Our economy is sluggish, political polarization is at an all-time high, our government seems paralyzed and our politics has failed to rise to these challenges.

No wonder, then, that voters and politicians alike are nostalgic for a better time.

The Left is attempting to recreate the middle of the twentieth century, when social movements and anti-poverty programs were at their height, while the Right pines for the Reagan Era, when taxes were low and Americans were optimistic.

But America has changed over the past half century. The institutions that once dominated our economy, politics, and culture have fragmented and become smaller, more diverse, and personalized.

Individualism, dynamism, and liberalization have come at the cost of dwindling solidarity, cohesion, and social order.

This has left us with more choices in every realm of life but far less security, stability, and national unity. The Fractured Republic, Yuval Levin calls for a modernizing politics that can answer the dysfunctions of our fragmented national life.

By embracing individualism and diversity and rejecting extremism and nostalgia, we can revive the middle layers of society and enable an American revival
