Polarization in the United States is at the heart of the current tension between self-government and free markets. All the challenges that test this relationship— social, political, and economic inequality; climate change; and monopolization—require an active and competent government. However, the current tribalism that disrupts democracy in America makes meeting these challenges extraordinary difficult, if not unlikely. The Miller Center will host a conversation with Suzanne Mettler, professor of American institutions at Cornell University; Jamelle Bouie, New York Times columnist; and Scott Miller, director of Project on Democracy and Capitalism, to consider how the current conflicts over the political economy in the United States are likely to affect the approaching campaign for the White House and Congress.

This event is produced by the Miller Center's Project on Democracy and Capitalism.
