As the nation nears the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we ask ourselves: How does the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness hold up today?
New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, Oren Cass, founder of American Compass, and The Atlantic’s Annie Lowrey and moderator Yoni Appelbaum will explore how technological change, economic mobility, and the meaning of work are reshaping the American Dream.
This session is produced by the Karsh Institute of Democracy.
