The Rohatyn Center for Global Affair Global Fellows Program presents “Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy” with Katherine Stewart.
Journalist Katherine Stewart new book “MONEY, LIES, AND GOD: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy” (February 18, 2025) exposes the inner workings of the “engine of unreason” roiling American culture and politics, but aims at a bigger and more challenging target: how did we get to the point where there is an organized political movement within the United States that is working to destroy American Democracy? Furthermore, why have so many Americans turned against democracy?
In this talk she’ll discuss her findings with a compelling analysis of the authoritarian reaction in the United States. She demonstrates that the movement relies on several distinct constituencies, with very different and often conflicting agendas. Stewart’s reporting and comprehensive political analysis helps reframe the conversation about the moral collapse of conservatism in America and points the way forward toward a democratic future.
