The Chance to Become a Person, and Other Arguments for Democracy

Dela

I spoke with journalist and author Osita Nwanevu about his recently published book, The Right of the People: The Case for a New American Founding. In this episode, we talked about the first half of the book: how do we define (and identify) democracies, and what are the arguments for and against democracy as a form of government.

In the next episode, I'll share our second conversation, about why we should have a new founding of American Democracy, and what that might look like.

As noted at the end, I'll link to a couple upcoming books that I interviewed the authors about, in case you want to get them in advance:

Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism by Thea Riofrancos

A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon Free Future by J. Mijin Cha

 

Music is by Evan Schaeffer
