Why the 1960s Are to Blame for America’s Cultural Crisis


Listen Later

On today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Tim Goeglein discusses his new book, "Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream."

Goeglein's book explores the dramatic cultural, social, and political shifts of the 1960s and how those changes continue to impact American society today.

“The reason we're in the spiritual crisis that we are in across all of our institutions is because of the moral and social revolution of the 1960s,” he tells The Daily Signal.

Goeglien, who serves as vice president of external and government relations for Focus on the Family, explores what he calls the many "stumbles" of the 1960s—from morality and religion to education and entertainment.

“Progressives ultimately believe in the perfectibility of man and that it can all be socially engineered in places like Washington and Hollywood," Goeglein says. "But I demonstrate in 'Stumbling Toward Utopia' that this is a bunch of false promises.”

He also shares his thoughts on how America can restore its moral foundation and revive the American Dream.

“I believe already the seeds are being planted for a restoration," Goeglein says. "There are all kinds of things happening, and I believe that the American Dream will be restored.”

Listen to hear his insights on education, family values, and the role of government in shaping the future.
