John interviews Nicholas Eberstadt, who holds the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute, about two of his essays. First, “Our Miserable 21st Century,” from 2017, which used economic data to show how America has been declining since 2000 – and how that explains the election of Donald Trump. That essay became the most-read piece in the history of “Commentary Magazine.” And second, a recent article for “Foreign Affairs” where Eberstadt argues that, despite the recent doomsday predictions over America’s demographic decline, the U.S. is still well-positioned demographically – at least compared to its chief rivals, China and Russia.
