Scott Galloway speaks with Heather Cox Richardson, a historian at Boston College, author, and the voice of the newsletter, Letters from an American – @heathercoxrichardson
They discuss the ‘No Kings’ protests and what they reveal about the state of U.S. democracy, the erosion of moral and corporate leadership, and the redefinition of patriotism in a polarized America. Heather explains how history helps us understand today’s authoritarian drift, why civic courage has faded among elites, and how national service could help rebuild a shared sense of purpose.
