    Episode 7 - David Vine

    American University Professor David Vine has developed a powerful critique of the war mentality that America takes for granted. We argue about whether we should be a “welfare state.” Why don’t we argue about whether we should remain a “warfare state.” In this episode, he discusses two of his books, The United States of War and Base Nation, and what lessons they teach us now.

    Season 2 Intro

    This is an introduction of this season and ideas that the season will explore. Anti-empire, privacy, and competition: these ideas, or as I will call them, values, represent the best of who we’ve been; they are also values we’ve betrayed. These conversations are part of the research for a possible new book. Explore the ideas with me, and with your feedback, help me think them through.
