Wade Davis: America's social and political landscape points to decline | Politics


Canadian-American social anthropologist Wade Davis says the American empire is showing significant signs of decline.

In an interview recorded days before US President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Canadian-American social anthropologist Wade Davis argues that both Biden and his rival Donald Trump “should have stepped down from the stage a long time ago.”

Davis tells host Steve Clemons there's no question the 20th century was the American century, but the question now is, “Who will rule the next century?”

With Americans on the left and right demonizing each other, there is no room for middle ground and the country has become unrecognizable to many Americans, Davis says.
