What is the glue that holds a society together?

​

Following numerous subjects from December 2016, The American Question

examines the insidious roots of American polarization and distrust —

in a desperate search for a path forward. 

​

Guided by an all-star lineup of experts, including Amy Chua (Day of Empire),

Colin Woodard (American Nations), Yuval Levin (The Fractured Republic)

and Yascha Mounk (The People vs. Democracy), The American Question

reframes the heightened stakes of the 2024 election, through revisiting

the last 8 years of civic discord, revealing new revelations

on how decades of decline dissolved public trust —

presenting solutions to restore our democracy.
