Why did America stop building? My AEI colleague James Pethokoukis joins the podcast this week to explain how cultural pessimism, bad policy, and bipartisan fear of disruption stalled progress in strengthening America’s economy. From nukes to AI, we explore what went wrong—and how to fix it.
Please listen in on the discussion and check out James’s excellent 2023 book, The Conservative Futurist: How to Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised.
