Video Title

American Breakdown: Politics, Governance, and the Trust Deficit 

Body

Three decades of elite failure has polarized the United States fueling distrust in leaders and institutions to produce a crisis of public legitimacy.  Understanding the causes behind the phenomenon is the first step toward addressing the problem and regaining lost credibility. America hasn’t failed, as longtime journalist and editor Gerard Baker insists, but rather it has been failed by leaders in government, business, and culture who put self-interest before public good. Join us in a lecture presented by Gerard Baker, Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal.
