What Could Possibly Go Right?

#8 Heather Cox Richardson: Rewriting the Politics of the American Dream


Listen Later

Heather Cox Richardson addresses the question of What Could Possibly Go Right? with a political focus. Her insights include:

  • That the current condition is waking people up from autopilot and creating the realization they need to pursue change personally to create the society in which they want to live.
  • A reminder that the beauty of a democratic system is getting to choose which direction to go.
  • That the desire for equality of opportunity and access should no longer be pushed to the narrative of special interest in politics.
  • The potential to innovate and create change through crowdsourcing government and society.
  • That the American dream needs to be rewritten and move away from the heteronormative nuclear family as its centerpiece, to a more community-centered and diverse view.
