Scott Galloway speaks with Heather Cox Richardson, a historian at Boston College and author of Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America, as well as the widely-read Substack Letters from an American. They discuss the ‘No Kings’ protests and what they reveal about the state of U.S. democracy, the erosion of moral and corporate leadership, and the redefinition of patriotism in a polarized America. Heather explains how history helps us understand today’s authoritarian drift, why civic courage has faded among elites, and how national service could help rebuild a shared sense of purpose.
