On Monday night, in front of a live audience, I talked to Fareed Zakaria about the different political age he believes we’ve entered. Zakaria is the host of “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN and the author of the 2024 book “Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash From 1600 to the Present.” To mark the release of the book in paperback, Zakaria invited me to have this conversation at Symphony Space in New York City. We discuss the “revolution” we may be living through, the forces driving it, and how the Democratic Party can adapt. 00:00 The New Age of Revolutions 08:37 Why Economics Doesn't Explain Global Populism 16:19 The Networked Collapse 23:28 The Left's Populist Problem 33:24 Immigration and the Liberal Dilemma 41:48 The Anxiety of Freedom 51:06 Meritocracy, Humility, and the Future of Liberal Elites 59:13 The Path Forward Watch more on @EzraKleinShow Thoughts?
