American Society, Spinning Its Wheels

Ross Douthat, New York Times columnist and the co-host of its 'The Argument' podcast, talks about his new book, The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success (Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster, 2020).  It offers a somber assessment of Western culture’s future (and how the Star Wars saga signals its stagnation), plus weighs in on the 2020 Democratic field.
