How can we ensure the preservation of democracy? By adopting the virtues of our founding fathers. On the latest episode of the Walker Webcast, we featured Willy’s discussion with Jeffrey Rosen – president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, host of the weekly podcast We the People, professor of law at the George Washington University Law School, and contributing editor of The Atlantic – from the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. Their conversation centered around themes from Jeff’s newest book The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America, including the lives of the founding fathers and their quest for virtue, their emphasis on self-mastery and character development, how social media is validating the founding fathers’ fears of unmediated democracy, the state of play in American politics today, and much more.
