    A Conversation with Will Kingston

    In the season 7 finale, Mathew speaks with Will Kingston about the current state of the West and the crises it faces from internal threats that desire to 'deconstruct' and tear down the very institutions and values that created the West and have subsequently freed countless numbers of individuals - and countries - internationally. We discuss how we got here, where we might be going, and what things we need to change and retain to ensure a bright future ahead.Thanks, Will!
