In this episode, we talk with Yuval Levin, founder and editor of National Affairs, a quarterly magazine of political thought, and director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. He is the author of at least two books very relevant to our theme this month at the Lycuem, first, the Fractured Republic: Renewing America’s Social Contract in an Age of Individualism and, second, A Time to Build: From Family and Community to Congress and the Campus, How Recommitting to Our Institutions Can Revive the American Dream.

Yuval shares ideas about how we can let politics dominate less of our lives and how local government might often be a better path for serving the common good.

In this episode, we talk with Gracy Olmstead, journalist and author of the book "Uprooted" on what it means to put down roots, take responsibility for a place, and find a sense of home in an age when we are so mobile, and so much of our life is lived online.
