Part One:
We chat with Daniel Block, an editor at Washington Monthly, about how, if Democrats want to take back the electoral map, they need a plan to revive the cities in America’s heartland. Those cities have lost their vitality – not only because of globalization – but also because of unwise US government policies, which must be reformed to conform to today’s new economic circumstances.
Part Two:
We chat with David Campbell, Professor of Public Administration at SUNY Binghamton, about the downside of wealthy philanthropists who choose their charitable recipients with a market mindset. We also discuss how US policy gives huge tax deductions to these wealthy donors, who then have a disproportional influence on the priorities governing the distribution of public resources in the US.
