    Is America in decline?

    John Prudhoe, James Astell, James Bennett

    Speakers John Prudhoe and James Bennett evaluate whether the United States faces absolute decline or cyclical resilience amidst political paralysis, social division, and a rising China. While internal dysfunction and the January Capitol Hill coup highlight a stagnation in problem-solving, the nation retains structural strengths like a young population and economic dynamism that could fuel future renewal. The discussion projects that upcoming infrastructure and climate legislation may break decades of federal inaction, potentially triggering a Progressive Era-style rejuvenation similar to historical precedents.
