Description
Five years ago, our civilization experienced a massive economic crisis, but our current political, intellectual, and social climate has changed much less than one might expect. New York Times columnist Ross Douthat states, 'This is not the stability of a flourishing, resilient society. It's the peace of a decadent one.' In this series, he explains what decadence means, why it's so dangerous, and how we might escape it.
