This Matters with Bill Britt

The death of the center

As political extremes rise, the middle disappears—and so does the ability to govern. Bill Britt explains why that matters.

As political extremes gain power, the space for compromise shrinks—leaving governance weaker and the country increasingly unstable.

In this edition of “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines a political system where leaders are rewarded for rejecting common ground instead of building it.
