Nations don’t last. The most powerful countries the world has ever known have not survived for more than several hundred years because they lose a common identity that binds people together. The basic institutions that have bound Americans together for nearly 250 years - government, religion, business, education, media, and science - now divide us. There is as little agreement on common morals, values and beliefs that have made the U.S. unique than at any other time in American history.

This podcast explores questions about how changes in American culture are affecting the workplace, race relations, religion, and media consumption, as well as trust in science, government and business. Alan Scarrow sits down with thoughtful business, cultural, education, and religious leaders to understand why these changes are occurring and their consequences both in the near term and for generations to come.
