Stephen Kent on Star Wars' virtues at Reason.com

I love Reason Magazine and Reason.com. As such, it was a real thrill to be published this week in Reason about my upcoming book, How The Force Can Fix The World. Go check it out!

“One of my favorite champions of hope in the realm of fictional revolutionary politics is Princess Leia of Star Wars. She's got a treasure trove of quotes on the subject that illuminate just why a politics rooted in hope, not paranoia and doom, is exactly what our culture needs right now. Her hope is firm as stone, resolute, and grounded in truth. It's a model for the kind of hope we need in order to defend liberty. In my upcoming book, How the Force Can Fix the World, I explain why this matters for preserving not only our society and way of life, but our personal happiness as well.”
