Honestly with Bari Weiss

Chapters

The episode introduces the idea that societal issues like increased suicide rates, addiction, and loss of trust in institutions are not isolated but interconnected.

Shownotes Transcript

What if I told you that all the brokenness in our society—from the increased rates in suicide and addiction to the decreased rates in marriage and sex to the crisis of faith in everything from the CDC to political leaders to our democratic elections—weren’t a series of separate catastrophes but symptoms of one underlying condition?

That’s the argument of my guest today, Yuval Levin. 

Yuval is a journalist and academic. He has served as a congressional staffer and as a domestic policy staff member under President George W Bush, he’s the author of several books including The Fractured Republic and “A Time to Build.” 

I think of him as one of America’s most insightful political philosophers. I learned so much from this conversation and I hope you do, too.
