Crisis of responsibility : our cultural addiction to blame and how you can cure it

Bahnsen, David L., 1974- author.

Book 2018

The key to American prosperity in this new era of populism is for moral people to make responsibility matter again by renewing personal virtue and form lasting, mediating institutions that will trump the elitist bogeymen and scapegoats for generations to come. If we fail as individual Americans to address this core crisis of responsibility, we have only ourselves to blame for what happens next.
