Diversity has often been seen as the United States’ defining strength – but today, some Americans see it as a threat. And this isn’t new. Throughout history, differences of religion, ethnicity, and origin have driven states around the world to war, violence, and extreme division. However, German-American political scientist Yascha Mounk says this isn’t the only path. On this week’s episode, we revisit our 2022 conversation with Mounk about his book, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/665275/the-great-experiment-by-yascha-mounk/">The Great Experiment: Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart And How They Can Endure</a>."Two years after our original recording, we wonder whether it's still possible for diverse diverse democracies to succeed in an increasingly polarized political landscape.Guest:<a href="https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Yascha Mounk</a>, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, contributing editor at The Atlantic and author of The Great Experiment: Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart and How They Can EndureHost:<a href="https://twitter.com/raysuareznews?lang=en">Ray Suarez</a>If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to <a href="https://www.commonwealthclub.org/joingive">Commonwealth Club World Affairs</a>.
