We the People
Americans seem more culturally and ideologically divided than at any point in most of our lifetimes, with no prospect of bridging those divides any time soon. The only thing we seem to agree upon is that our politics are broken and our leaders are unable to solve the nation’s most fundamental challenges. What can be done to save American democracy from itself? Can we still form a “more perfect union”? What should Americans know about their country and who makes the important decisions? Hear from Aspen Ideas Festival speakers as they dig into these questions and more.
