Is America the victim of its own economic success?
In this episode of The Liberal Patriot Podcast, I speak with Niskanen Center senior vice president Brink Lindsey about why material abundance in America no longer translates into national meaning, cohesion, or progress. We discuss capitalism’s limits, performative politics, declining birth rates, and what it would take to move from mass plenty to genuine flourishing.
Brink is the author of a great new book published this month, The Permanent Problem: The Uncertain Transition from Mass Plenty to Mass Flourishing, and writes his own newsletter, also called The Permanent Problem, right here on Substack.
