America, Versus Itself. Joseph Nye, March 25, 2015, Audio. "Some days lately – many days, actually – it can seem like the United States, or at least Washington, is paralyzed and the world is passing us by. On issue after issue, America looks gridlocked while the future calls out for action and change. The US ought to be incredibly well-positioned for that future. But given our dysfunction, are we? Two big thinkers with us today on exactly that issue. Harvard’s Joseph Nye and the New Yorker’s John Cassidy – who recently wrote that the biggest threat to America’s future is America. This hour On Point: challenges, gridlock, and the future of the USA." Link
