2024 in Review: Feudalism, Politics, and Global Shifts

Feudal Future

What if the future of global politics looks more like a return to feudalism than continuous progress? Discover the surprising dynamics of 2024 as Marshall Toplansky and Joel Kotkin discuss the unraveling of the liberal world order and the rise of pragmatic priorities among voters. We uncover how shifting societal trends, from the unexpected support for Donald Trump among Latino voters to the growing focus on job security, are reshaping political strategies and questioning the effectiveness of identity politics.
Join us as we navigate through the complexities of education and the economy, highlighting the transformative impact of artificial intelligence and the pressing need for educational reform. Explore potential political shifts in California with figures like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom in the spotlight. On the global stage, we unpack the geopolitical challenges faced by China and Russia, examining the implications for America's strategic positioning. With a realpolitik lens, we reflect on how constitutional checks and balances can guide the U.S. through the rapidly changing global landscape. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the forces shaping the future, balancing critical insights with a focus on practical solutions.
