Yuval Levin on A Time to Build

Yuval Levin talks about his book A Time to Build with host Russ Roberts. He argues that U.S. institutions are less trustworthy than they have been in the past. People no longer see institutions as something that molds them and has norms to which they conform. Instead, they view the institution as a platform to gain attention and notoriety. This in turn means that institutions are increasingly unable to perform their primary function as they once did. The conversation concludes with some ideas for how individuals might change how they see their roles within institutions and life as a way of working together in common purpose.
