Timothy Carney – On American Alienation and How to Bootstrap Community in a Modern World

In this episode of High Noon with Inez Stepman, Inez interviews Timothy Carney, author of Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse, a book about the sociological contours of the crisis of meaning and loneliness that drives our politics. Carney is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the senior columnist at The Washington Examiner, as well as being published and interviewed everywhere from The Atlantic, New York Times, and MSNBC to The Wall Street Journal and Fox News.

Stepman and Carney discuss how class segregation factors into our political division, the declining role of religion, and how to create opportunities for 3D meetups in a digital world. Tim pushes back against a point of agreement between libertarians and Marxists about the primacy of economics in explaining the failures and successes of different regions of the country.
