Podcasts about alienated america

This week, it is our pleasure to welcome author Tim Carney to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Tim Carney is an award-winning author, journalist, scholar, and speaker. He has covered culture and politics for nearly 25 years, has written four books, has spoken in cities around the U.S. (and even overseas), and has published thousands of columns and magazine articles. From electoral politics, lobbying, and crony capitalism, to culture, faith, and family, Tim's work explores and explains a broad swath of the American landscape.  In this conversation, Tim discusses his new book, "Family Unfriendly."  Our culture tells parents there's one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can't do that, don't bother. How is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it's time to end this failed experiment in overparenting. Have more kids, have more fun, cancel the travel soccer games, let your kids wander off, and give them deeper sources of meaning than material success.  This is an old-fashioned view, but every day the evidence validates it. Drawing on rigorous research—both as a reporter and as a dad of six—Carney demonstrates why modern parenting is so misguided. The high standards set for modern American parenting are unrealistic and setting parents—and our kids—up to fail. Don't miss this important conversation! Tim Carney is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the senior columnist for the Washington Examiner, and the author of four books, most recently Alienated America and the forthcoming Family Unfriendly. He has written in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Atlantic, National Review, and many other newspapers and magazines.

American families are getting smaller, even as parents spend more time parenting; and while quality of life has ostensibly gone up, our willingness to bring children into our abundant world has seemingly gone down. Economists try to pinpoint market explanations and propose policy solutions to the falling birthrate, but Tim Carney has a more basic explanation for our shrinking, stressed-out families. Today I talk with Carney about his recent book, Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be.Carney is a senior fellow here at AEI, as well as a senior columnist at the Washington Examiner. In addition to Family Unfriendly, he is the author of Alienated America and The Big Ripoff.

This week on The Bulletin, host Mike Cosper sits down for a special one on one conversation with author and political columnist Tim Carney about his new book Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be. Grounded in fascinating sociological research and filled with engaging stories, this discussion highlights the many ways that culture shapes our expectations and behaviors -- even when we don't realize it. Whether or not you're a parent, you'll find this episode enlightening and beneficial. As Tim says, we all gain from a culture that values children.

Alienated America author Timothy Carney returns to the High Noon podcast to discuss his new book, Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than it Needs to Be.

Given the state of… things (imagine us gesturing wildly as we say this) as they currently are, Jonah figured that this might be an apropos time to bring back a popular guest for his second showing:  Joseph Uscinski, a political scientist and professor at the University of Miami specializing in how conspiracy theories spread. Buckle up for the discussion of Jewish space lasers, QAnon, Frazzledrip, and much more. They also discuss why the conspiratorial tendency never seems to go away, thanks to its basis in personality type, as well as the fact that “politicians … use [them] as a cudgel to go around accusing their opponents of the worst things possible.” We’re sure you can imagine just what Joe is talking about with that one.   Show Notes: -Joseph E Uscinski - University of Miami -Our previous episode with Joseph -Birtherism -Every conspiracy theory promoted by Trump -Conspiracy theories are for losers -9/11 truthers -70 percent of Republicans don’t think the election was free and fair -Eric Voegelin and the roots of conspiracy theories -The God of the gaps -Conspiracy theories and evolutionary psychology -The Koch brothers control everything -Bernie and the rigged economy -Alienated America by Tim Carney -“Frazzledrip”??? -6 percent of Republicans and Democrats believe in QAnon -NYT: Biden should appoint a “reality czar” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carney examines how counties voted in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries. Among Trump's core supporters, Carney finds a story of working-class struggle. In places that shunned Trump, Carney finds thriving community and civil society. He argues that achieving the American Dream requires strong local institutions, community, and religous participation, even more than better jobs and economic opportunity.

Today’s episode is a rebroadcast that originally aired in March of 2019, but holds incredible relevance to conversations we’re still having today.This conversation with Tim Carney, editor at the Washington Examiner and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, explores the subject matter of his 2019 book, “Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse." To the extent that the "American Dream" is fading away in parts of the country, the problem isn't pure economics. Nor is it a case of stubborn old white men falling behind because they refuse embrace progress. Carney argues that the root cause of our problems – crumbling families, despair, and political dysfunction – is the erosion of community and local, civil institutions, most especially church. The result of a secularizing country is a plague of alienation for the working class, as people struggle to build families and improve their lives without the support structure they need.Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse - Tim CarneyVideo: Tim Carney On The Threat To Liberty From Big BusinessMore churches, more flourishing: The secret to success in middle America - Joseph SundeLyman Stone on the decline of religiosity in the United States - Acton LineSubscribe to Acton Institute Events podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tim Carney, author of Alienated America, talks about his latest Washington Examiner column, "Trump Corrupts." He also discusses why the very things that bring us joy (community and purpose) put us at the greatest risk for COVID-19 exposure.

In many PCs, the first software to run after hitting the power button is called BIOS (Basic Input-Output System). BIOS loads the computer’s operating system and the individual settings that make your personal computer so...personal. A malfunction at this most basic level leads to a cascade of other problems, including error messages, poor performance, or refusing to boot at all. It’s important to get the foundational things right, and not just in our computers. For too long, says Blake Pagenkopf, author of The Structure of Political Positions, our political discourse has been hobbled by a fundamental error—an error not just in our language but in the structures beneath that language. In particular, we tend to locate ourselves and others as points on a single line, a Left-Right spectrum. But this one-dimensional paradigm is too limiting. There are too many data points that fall outside the conventional Left-Right political modes, says Pagenkopf. We need to reboot our politics with a fuller, richer way to frame our political disagreements. We need to upgrade our political BIOS. In today’s episode of the Strong Towns podcast, Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn talks with Pagenkopf about why we must transition from a one-dimensional view of political positions to a two-dimensional view—with a Values Axis (the familiar Left-Right/Liberal-Conservative line) but also a Power Axis, from “centralized” at the top to “citizen-based” below. Marohn and Pagenkopf talk about how Pagenkopf’s background in architecture helped him think differently about political positions, and why the current approach obscures opportunities to work together...and delegitimizes some people altogether. They talk about why the Strong Towns movement is one part of a larger “meta-movement” that doesn’t fit traditional liberal-conservative modes. And they discuss how a two-dimensional view reveals surprising bright spots in our politics, right when we need them most.

Tim Carney joins Luis and Gil to discuss his perspective on the ideological divisions within the GOP, why Republicans have failed to win meaningful percentages of the national Latino vote, how alienation has affected GOP politics, the role of pluralism in American civil society, and why it is important to proactively exclude racists from conservative circles and how young conservatives can do so. After speaking with Tim, Luis and Gil share their thoughts on how to address issues surrounding race within conservatism and speculate about what the Republican party might look like after the election.About the guest: Timothy P.

When the Large Hadron Collider opened in 2008, deep beneath the French-Swiss border, some people feared it would be the literal end of the world—that slamming particles together at 99.999999% the speed of light would create an all-consuming black hole, or even strangelets, hypothetical particles that may convert existing matter into “strange matter.” Twelve years later, scientists continue to smash particles together in the name of discovering what the universe is made of, and the earth is still here...for now. Why bring that up here, in a podcast about building stronger and more financially resilient cities? Because right now it feels like Americans are the ones in the collider. That’s the metaphor our friend Chris Arnade used in an excellent article on what the COVID-19 crisis is revealing about the United States. He writes: In physics, to reveal deeper truths, you slam particles together to expose their inner structure. The pandemic has been like that, slamming different parts of the country together, revealing it to be deeply divided by geography, race, education, and wealth. It is hard to imagine it once fit together or will ever fit together again. Each week on Upzoned, host Abby Kinney, an urban planner in Kansas City, takes one article from the news and she “upzones” it, looking at it through the Strong Towns lens. In this episode Abby is joined by Strong Towns Program Director Rachel Quednau, and together they discuss Chris Arnade’s American Compass article, “Chaos in the Time of Covid.” Abby and Rachel talk about how Americans are experiencing the pandemic very differently from one another, Arnade’s ability to lift the veil on communities too often obscured or ignored, and whether or not politics has become a religion. Abby and Rachel also discuss reasons for hope, including the way divisions often start to break down at the neighborhood level.  Then in the Downzone, Rachel recommends a book from her Strong Towns colleague on how faith communities can join in the work of neighborhood revitalization. And Abby discusses her experience—both as a presenter and as an attendee—at last week’s CNU virtual gathering. What about you? Do you believe, as Chris Arnade seems to, that the colliding particles of American society will continue to decay and dissipate? Or do you see reasons for hope in your community?

The rise of Donald Trump in the 2016 primaries—and his eventual win in the general—defied expectations and confounded explanations. Nearly every national poll was wrong, and political observers have spent the last four years trying to understand what happened (and how so many of the experts missed it). In his book Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse, Timothy Carney makes the compelling case that the most common explanations for Trump’s ascendance—the economy, for example—don’t get to the root of things. He demonstrates that the people who resonated with Trump’s message that “the American dream is dead” are those whose communities lacked the social cohesion that binds neighbor to neighbor. While voters cast ballots mostly along party lines in the general election, in the early primaries, Candidate Trump actually struggled in places where the institutions that are “the key to the good life”— faith communities, vibrant civic organizations, etc.—already gave people a strong sense of purpose and belonging. Maybe you’re starting to see why Strong Towns founder and president Chuck Marohn named Alienated America one of the best books he read in 2019, saying “I highly recommend it to anyone trying to understand the cultural ramifications of fragile places.” Tim Carney is Chuck’s guest on this week’s episode of the Strong Towns podcast. Together, they discuss how populism—on both the right and the left, and in 2016 as well as today—is springing from alienation (we need to belong to something). They talk about community’s physical dimension (proximity, walkability, etc.), why people are healthiest when they belong to “a lot of little platoons,” and why idleness isn’t so much a vice as an affliction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how frayed social bonds effect not just our national politics but our local life as well.

In this episode of the Bridge Builder, we speak with Tim Carney, author of "Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse." After traveling the U.S. to answer that question he now shares his data and research, which shows how a lack of social connections in communities are leading to their collapse, and the solutions he sees. Plus, we examine how our culture of alienation is playing a role in mass shootings. In the mailbag, we examine measures aimed at curbing gun violence. We round out the show with a fun way for you to start learning more about our state government while also learning some great Minnesota history.

In this episode we look into the flexible nature of the world around us, and the impact that we can actually have upon it. By looking into different countries and examples, we try to break down how much you can actually influence reality.The USA, the USSR, the EU and China all are examples of this, as they become more conscious creations rather than simple products of history.Presenters: Daniel, Carla and ShannonSources and Notes (In order of reference):The Secret, 2006, Rhonda ByrneLord Baltimore - I have to apologize because I cannot find a reference to the incident with Lord Baltimore, and I may be mistaking him for someone by another name, however I did find a reference to a Prince Henry of Prussia, who was invited in 1786 by Nathaniel Gorham (the President of the Continental Congress) to come to America and become the King of America, shortly after the victory over the British. They saw the reassertion of monarchy as very important, which while roundabout, proves my original assertion. Unsurprisingly, Henry declined, after the way the British treated their previous Monarch.I heavily encourage you to view this below Time article by Richard Hurowitz to view the full extent of how habitual so much of the American thinking was at that time.(https://time.com/5459916/american-monarchy/)Socialism with Chinese Characteristics - This term was actually coined in the era after Mao, and while Mao identified a unique version of Socialism, I just wanted to mention that this particular term was actually coined later in the Deng Xiaoping era, during the reform period.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristicsMore particularly you’d want to look at the term Maoism.The European Coal and Steel Community - https://carleton.ca/ces/eulearning/history/moving-to-integration/the-european-coal-and-steel-community/You can see at the above the story of the founding of the ECSC, and what would later become the EU.The EU Vote - The vote was to create an EU Constitution, but it was blocked by French and Dutch voters in 2005 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_a_Constitution_for_EuropeThe treaty of Lisbon was later signed as a replacement for this to create a common set of rules regardless, without being an explicit constitution. But with that earlier vote the mental battle to create a Federal Europe had stalled, and with it, the road towards Federation and a proper democratic process was aborted. Because as we’ve stated, it’s all about perception, and the public had voted it was afraid of the EU and what it was becoming.The Congo - http://whynationsfail.com/blog/2013/8/15/the-roads-of-the-congo.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterIn the book Why Nations Fail by Acemoglu and Robinson, which I’m referencing, they detail a great deal of the ways by which the Congo collapsed, due to a paranoid Mobutu government not wanting to invest in the state or infrastructure for fear of empowering opposition. Essentially the far right, mixed with Libertarianism of a sort. So you had a hollow state, much of which ended up subject to lawlessness. It’s worth reading the entire book honestly, I’m a big fan of it, and it’s a case for the proper interaction between the state and the populace, and their interreliance to develop healthily.Dunbar’s Number - The number theorized by Robin Dunbar in 1990, which estimated that humans golden number of social connections is roughly 150 people, or more precisely, 100-250. It was originally seen as a correlation between brain sizes and social group sizes in primates.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_numberI can never remember the proper names when I’m talking on the fly!The Surprise Trump Vote -https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2017/05/voting_in_america.html2.8m additional white people came out and voted in 2016 compared to 2012, according to the US census bureau. A massive number of disenfranchised people primarily in rust belt states who feel alienated from the world around them, voted for Trump.This was a manifestation of the disaffected making themselves known, and changing the world through the democratic process.I am also referencing here Timothy Carney’s book Alienated America which he released early 2019. He makes an excellent case for the need for civil society. I don’t agree that the Church has to solve these problems as I think he simply makes the case for any ideological bonded institution. However, his observations about disaffection and societal dissolution are very sharp.I also have qualms about his understanding of regulation and the role of the state, as well as his fundamental misunderstanding of the general increase in atheism among western society. But that’s beside the accuracy of his research into alienation and the Trump vote indicators.Foreign Aid Numbers -The United States spends about 1% of it’s budget on foreign aid, about 45 billion dollars. Its spent in this ball park almost every year since the year 2012, making it 288 billion between 2012 and 2017.https://explorer.usaid.gov/This is greater than the annual GDP of Chile or Finland, and almost 150% of New Zealand.

People across the country believe the American dream is no longer attainable. Growing inequality, economic immobility, political strife and the national crisis of addiction undermine the confidence of ordinary Americans every day. Could it be that the deterioration of the American dream is not the result of economics but the collapse of civic institutions such as marriage, community groups and religious organizations?

The suffering of America's working class is real. Immobility, inequality, a retreat from marriage, and deaths of despair are the symptoms. In short, for much of the country, the American Dream is dead. The root cause is the collapse of local community for the working-class.

Timothy P. Carney, commentary editor at the Washington Examiner, discusses his book, Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse.
