Democracy's Future?

From Tyranny, Inc. to "Win-Enough" Democracy

Episode Summary

Sohrab Ahmari joins this episode of Democracy’s Future to discuss his new book, Tyranny, Inc, explaining why conservatives should support the rights of workers. For Ahmari, democracy should mean the Left and the Right find ways to “win enough” of their agendas, in order to defend citizens’ freedom against the concentrated power of employers and corporations.
