A Time to Build

From Family and Community to Congress and the Campus, How Recommitting to Our Institutions Can Revive the American Dream
Book • 2020
In *A Time to Build*, Yuval Levin argues that the social crisis in America is not due to oppressive institutions but rather a lack of trust in them.

He advocates for rebuilding and strengthening institutions like families, schools, and churches to foster unity and social cohesion.

Levin emphasizes the importance of these institutions in shaping individuals and society, providing a framework for moral improvement and civic engagement.
