ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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, I share our second conversation, about why we should have a new founding of American Democracy, and what that might look like.
In the previous 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. If you haven't listened yet, I think it's useful for this conversation, but you can also start here and listen to that one after if you so choose.
As noted at the end, I'll link to a couple upcoming books that I interviewed the authors about, in case you want to read 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
