Capitalism doesn't work without democracy. So, it's particularly concerning that polarization and fundamentalism are threatening the underlying principles that make our democracy possible.

We talk with them about their book and discuss solutions on this episode. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
