Matt Crawford speaks with author Jared Yates Sexton about his book, The Midnight Kingdom. How did we get here? When talking about politics today I think all of us, regardless of political affiliation, ask ourselves. Sexton does the deep dive all the way back to Rome to show us that this dynamic is nothing new, and that when you know what to look for, is actually easy to identify and try to prevent. We discuss this as well as Jared's podcast The Muckrake. This book should be required reading by all and I hope you all will. Also, give a listen to his great podcast.
