Fiona Hill: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century

>2,142 views | Oct 27, 2021

Before Fiona Hill became a celebrated foreign policy expert and key witness in the 2019 impeachment trial of then-President Donald Trump, she was a coal-miner's daughter from northern England in a town where the last of the coal mines had closed. Her father urged her to get out, saying “There is nothing for you here, pet.”

Hill went on to study in Moscow and at Harvard and served under three United States presidents. But in both Russia and the United States, she saw troubling reflections of her hometown and similar populist impulses. Her new book, There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century, draws on her own journey out of poverty and her unique perspective as a policymaker to warn that America is on the brink of socioeconomic collapse and an authoritarian swing that could rival modern Russia.

In her powerful and deeply personal account, Hill reveals why expanding opportunity for desperate and forgotten Americans is the only long-term hope for our democracy. Join us as she reflects on her own experience and expertise to analyze the future of American democracy.

Such a pleasure to listen to someone who has made a concerted effort to be really good at what they do. Dr. Hill is the kind of person we need serving the American people. She's taken a lifelong deep dive effort to understand Russian and Putin and we were able to tap into that effort to give our foreign policy an edge. Can you imagine if every person working for us, in every branch of government, had put forth this kind of effort, how the country could be run? It's a shame that Dr. Hill seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Thank you so much Dr. Hill for your example and your service.

I live on the West Coast. We have a lot of immigrants here, mostly Hispanic or Asian. I'm in my seventies and have observed over the years that America's immigrants are the most loyal, enthusiastic American patriots and are more well versed in American History and our Constitution than most of us. The more generations that have passed between our ancestors coming to these shores, the less Americans seem to love or even understand the promise of America.

This does not really focus upon opportunity in the 21st Cebtury, rather does discuss the alarming partisanship and demise of democracy and our involvement in civic action.

Fiona Hill is someone with no political leanings either way, that’s what America really needs - a faint hope really.
