“Yup, it is my fault — and yours. How assuming responsibility makes us better people: ‘Crisis of Responsibility’ by the inimitable @davidbahnsen”—Amity Shlaes, Creator of The Forgotten Man 

The left and right have gone to great lengths to blame the problems plaguing our society but neither Washington DC, Wall Street, Mexico, China, the Feds, nor the media are the reason for our problems—nor are they the cure.  

Across the globe a “insurrection” of sorts is taking place against elitism. No more will big government, big media, big banks, big bureaucracy, and big institutions hold the name of the game nuggets of truth and dictate our lives and fortunes. Financial markets, political punditry, and cultural leaders are all scrambling to react to the upward push of the regularly disenfranchised.

But what happens in spite of everything the bogeymen have been vanquished? What if opposing the incompetence of the European Union, the biases of the American media, the corruption of crony capitalism, the arrogance of political power brokers, and allegedly unfair global trade deals isn’t enough?

The key to American prosperity in this new era of populism is for moral people to make responsibility matter again by renewing personal virtue and form lasting, mediating institutions a good way to trump the elitist bogeymen and scapegoats for generations to come.

If we fail as individual Americans to address this core crisis of responsibility, we have now only ourselves to blame for what happens next.
