General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Dying Citizen by Victor Davis Hanson delves into the evolving concept of American citizenship, arguing that it is facing significant threats. The book explores how factors such as the decline of the middle class, the rise of tribalism and identity politics, and the growing influence of a globalist elite are eroding the traditional understanding of what it means to be an American citizen. Hanson contends that these forces are shifting the focus away from shared values and responsibilities towards dependence, division, and a diminished sense of national unity. The author examines historical precedents and contemporary trends to illustrate this transformation and its potential consequences for the nation.
