The Social Cohesion Problem

KMO welcomes Neil Kramer back to the program to discuss the challenges and the possible advantages that the population of the United States faces as the shallow myths which provided cultural cohesion in the long period of economic growth give way to the reality of economic decline. The conversation traverses the treacherous terrain of race and ethnicity before escaping into pleasant recollections of the recent Transitional Alchemy couch-surfing tour. KMO concludes with a reading from Swann's Way by Marcel Proust.
