MM#280--The Shaping of America, The Big Sort & The Golden Rule
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message
Picture the United States as a vast jigsaw puzzle, filled with pieces that have been moving and morphing since its inception. Now, imagine that puzzle shaken up, the pieces sorted by design, color, and shape, segregating into separate corners.
That's the current socio-political landscape of our nation, a phenomenon introduced to us by American Journalist, Bill Bishop, refer to as the 'Big Sort.'
As we ponder over the founding documents of the United States, we'll see how they've shaped a nation as diverse as ours. So buckle up, as we pull apart the threads of history and weave together a cohesive understanding of the forces shaping our nation.
Our guide will be Michael Barone and his wonderful book, Shaping Our Nation: How Surges of Migration Transformed America and Its Politics
Key Points from the Episode:
- A journey through time unveils the cultural and political upheavals, the widening cultural divides, and the role of self-selection in where Americans opt to live.
- Get ready for an insightful exploration of America's past and present, as we dissect how events like the late 2000s recession and the financial crisis have shaped our country.
- Our voyage doesn't stop there. We wade into deeper waters, discussing migration's impact on political and cultural shifts in America.
- We'll scrutinize the 'Big Sort' and the future implications of this self-selection trend.
- Ever wondered what led up to the Civil War? I've got just the book recommendations for you.
- The American Story is much more interesting while studying these vast migrations in our country history. So much so, that the American Story is in fact a Land of Hope
