  • Summary

  • In this episode of American Constitutive Stories, Harris Mylonas⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Andrew Thompson⁠⁠ ask Matthew Nimetz—an American diplomat and a former lawyer and private equity partner born in Brooklyn New York—to share his understanding of our national identity. Nimetz describes how the definition of the core group in America has expanded over his life time and suggests that ours is a period where people are more comfortable with collective American heroes, rather than one where individuals can be glorified. Finally, he argues that belief in a "land of opportunities" where "upward social mobility is possible for everyone," whatever its actual limitations, is still the most promising connecting tissue of our society.
