Interview with Christopher Caldwell about his book The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties. Discusses the “1960’s new order” that has shaped modern politics; the civil rights style of doing politics that became a second constitution, overriding the first; the two different perspectives on civil rights, the perpetrator perspective and the victim perspective, and the origins of critical race theory; the winners and losers of the “new order” and its influence on the Vietnam war and late 20th-century economics, along with the root of 21st-century populism.
