America’s political system increasingly rewards short-term conflict while discouraging the long-term national vision required to solve major challenges.
America once built for generations. Now it often governs for the next news cycle.
In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines what happens when a society loses the ability to think long-term—and why that shift may be shaping far more than politics.
Because great nations are not built through constant reaction.
They are built by people capable of seeing beyond the present moment.
