Aug 2, 2018

Carnegie Council President Joel Rosenthal and host Alex Woodson discuss the ethical failures of the first 18 months of Trump's presidency, but also why they both see hope for the future. In the face of the daily assault on basic values, where can Americans look for leadership?

This conversation is focused on Rosenthal's recent essay "The Assault on Ethics" and touches on Yale historian Timothy Snyder's February 2018 Carnegie Council talk on his book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century.

Woodson and Senior Fellow Devin Stewart discuss some of these same themes and Trump's negotiating style in this June 2018 Global Ethics Weekly podcast.
