ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Zero

What happens when a society believes that one group's gain must come at another group's expense?

In this episode of [un]phased unedited, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa explore the concept of the zero-sum game and the powerful ways it shapes American culture, policy, and public perception. From Heather McGhee's groundbreaking book, The Sum of Us to a recent advertising controversy involving Converse, they explore how challenged we are to manage "healthy heat" through important conversations.

Listen, subscribe, and share your thoughts with us as we continue exploring the structures, stories, and assumptions that shape our world.
