Mauro F. Guillén, Wharton School professor and author of The Perennials: The Megatrends Creating a Postgenerational Society, joins The Realignment. Mauro and Marshall discuss his argument that generational categories like Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are outmoded, the benefits of liberating individuals from the constraints of the sequential model of life, the differences between a society defined by generational identity and one oriented around "perennials," and how the "megatrends" of increasing longevity and technological disruption are transforming our lives.

Kathryn Cramer Brownell, author of 24/7 Politics: Cable Television and the Fragmenting of America from Watergate to Fox News, joins The Realignment. Kathryn and Marshall discuss how the modern cable news ecosystem grew out of government policies in the 1970s, the consequences of the continued decentralization of news and information from the heyday of ABC, CBS, and NBC, the collapse of the cable business model, cable's role in fragmenting post-war America, and how previous debates over technological innovation and consumer choice can inform the next evolution of the media industry.

With our first episode, host Marshall Kosloff is joined by Walter Russell Mead to review what an American "Arsenal of Democracy" really means and what it looks like. Walter and Marshall survey world affairs, from the War in Ukraine to the China challenge, to prescribe what American leadership can do for a shifting world order with increasingly influential great power rivals. Walter and Marshall then return to the home front, and discuss what it would take domestically to build an Arsenal of Democracy for the 21st century.

Ben Ansell, author of Why Politics Fails and Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, joins The Realignment. Ben and Marshall discuss why the initial promise of the twenty-first century stagnated into dysfunction and stasis, the role self-interest plays in limiting societies from achieving collective goals in the categories of democracy, equality, solidarity, security, and prosperity, and how and why the political process succeeded during previous eras.
