Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Cass R. Sunstein
This episode explores Can It Happen Here?: Authoritarianism in America, edited by Cass R. Sunstein, as a systems-level analysis of how constitutional design, institutional friction, emergency power, polarization, and information systems influence behavior, belief, and democratic outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why democratic decay can persist — and how it connects to larger legal, political, economic, and media systems.
