Contextualizing Political History, Matt Bai, Yahoo News

Matt Bai, National Political Columnist for Yahoo News, elaborates upon his conceptualization of "American exceptionalism" as a unique contribution to the advancement of humanity through the promotion of self-expression and personal freedom. He argues that the transformation of our politicians into celebrities, combined with long-term economic transformation (that he argues is driven more by automation than globalization), has fundamentally changed the nature of our political system. His role as a political journalist has been to provide readers with context through his analysis of policy, truth, history, and culture.
