scholar danielle allen will tell us how it could work here in america. >>> but first, here's my take. the news today is buried in tunisia, the only success story of the arab spring, came after the prime minister had been assassinated. it got me thinking about one of the fundamental rules in politics. why is it so difficult to develop and sustain a liberal democracy. the best recent work on this subject comes from a remarkable pair of scholars, daron acemoglu and james a. robinson, who wrote the book, "the narrow corridor." in every society, they note, the first step is simply achieving order and stability. history is littered with places where gangs, warlords and tribes rule and the state is never able to effectively consolidate power and govern. that was afghanistan's past and might be its future. if political order is rare, liberal political order is rarer still. liberal democracy is the goldilocks form of government. it needs a state that is strong enough to govern effectively but not so strong that it crushes the liberties and rights of its people. the authors called this the shac

joining me now is danielle allen, who is on leave from a top professorship at harvard in order to runome, danielle. first, let me ask you, are we really in as bad shape as south africa or rwanda or apartheid or the civil war? >> we're not in that bad of shape, but we are in a polarization in our history. the fact that polarization erupted into physical violence means we're in bad shape, indeed. we have a lot of work to do in truth and reconciliation. >> i'm sure you're going around massachusetts as you run for governor. are you finding that the insurrection of january 6 or the stealing or not stealing of the election, depending on whose accusations you hear, are those things consuming the lives of everyday citizens? >> it really turned it up. that was one of the most important learnings for me as i've been around the commonwealth for the past six months. the violence is really part of our national political experience, but i found people telling me stories of fights in towns over whether to build a new library that devolved into debates over whether people believed in the big lie over

one of clark allen's daughters joins me now, danielle. so sorry for your loss.like a card, seems like quite a guy. listen, you're sad, but you're also apgngry. your forehad copd, a pre-existing condition. what are you angry about? >> i'm apgry because the state of florida has basically said that vulnerable people don't matter. really, like most of the u.s. has said that. he had a full life and he really loved us, and he loved his grandchildren so much. and he did everything right. and he still died. and it shouldn't have happened. >> and you place blame on the assisted living facility? how? >> based off what he told us, there wasn't a lot of masking and there was a lot of questions about the vaccination status around him and the workers and the people who lived there. and i firmly believe that if he had been in a different state, he would still be alive. i think florida, the regulations around assisted livings and facilities in general are nonexistent and, i mean, it didn't really matter which one he was in, in florida, at the end of the day. i think just by bei

be nice if just for once the games embodied that true values of picking up from daniel's piece sports column? miss allen were a believe the real meaning of the olympics has all but disappeared from the event. today, these games will go down in history. lympics killed off sport to quite a large degree from involving politics from people basically being allowed to do whatever they wanted in abilities olympics where any testing of any sort it just as complete mass. local intakes is a nice way to pull this. i would also say that is the 1st phase calling because we have so much bad feelings about an invoice or a news olympics, whether it's bad charging weight or is people breaking records on a year or 2 years ago. they were 10 seconds away from so i still. yeah. what will it be stupid. so a mess is the see really dropped the ball. the u. s. recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling, but dollars not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package costing a trillion dollars. the senate has even silenced debates on the legislation. on top of that, democrats are feeling bullish enough to as
