What are the forces that accelerate and retard cultural change? What causes a society's demise? And more importantly, in the face of oppression, what can you do to promote a better direction? These are some of the questions taken by Leopold Ajami and Ricardo Pinto in this new episode of Ideas on Trial. Join us as we reflect on our lived experiences in Lebanon and Venezuela and discuss the issue of what one can do beyond merely voicing opposition to a regime.
