Ezra Klein on Why We’re Polarized
In this special episode, Larry Lessig speaks with Ezra Klein, the Vox media founder and host of the Ezra Klein Show, at a live event in Boston. They discuss Ezra’s new book “Why We’re Polarized” and discuss why it’s really the system and the parties—and not the particular policy disagreements between politicians or the public—that have made our democracy so dysfunctional.
The event was held in Back Bay in Boston and hosted by the Harvard bookstore. The audio is courtesy of the wonderful folks at the Forum Network at WGBH Boston. They are in the process of posting video from the event to https://forum-network.org/lectures/why-were-polarized-book-discussion-ezra-klein/.
