The Erosion of Rule and Ideology

This chapter discusses the decline in the rule of law post-COVID-19, particularly in urban areas like San Francisco, and critiques the response of social movements and district attorneys. It explores the evolution of libertarian ideologies, revealing the disconnection between theoretical beliefs and real-world governance issues, as well as the impacts of political power on individual lives. The speakers also analyze current geopolitical tensions, including those involving Iran and the implications for U.S. foreign policy, while reflecting on the challenges of competent governance in an era of radicalization.
