Why people recommend it
The Dying Citizen by Victor Davis Hanson explores how progressive elites, tribalism, and globalization are allegedly eroding the core concept of American citizenship and national identity. Megyn Kelly repeatedly recommended and discussed this book on The Megyn Kelly Show across multiple episodes between August 2022 and April 2023. While introducing her guest, the author himself, Kelly described the work as a great book that she had personally read. She highlighted its subtitle, detailing how various societal pressures are destroying the fundamental idea of the United States. Kelly referenced the book to establish the credentials of Hanson, who serves as a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and hosts his own podcast. The enthusiastic introductions by the host served to draw listener attention to the conservative critique of modern cultural and political trends. By bringing up the text at the outset of their interviews, Kelly framed the subsequent political and social discussions around the themes of civic decline, national borders, and the responsibilities of citizenship in the modern era.
