This pick comes from MAP staff member Tiffany Jones.
“I just listened to a great episode of the Ezra Klein Show podcast. Ezra (pretty liberal) interviews Arthur Brooks, the president of the American Enterprise Institute (pretty conservative). Their conversation revolves around the idea that disagreement in politics is a good thing, but the way that we disagree today is really just masking our contempt for the opposing side. This contempt, Brooks argues, is part of what’s holding back our democracy. It’s something that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.”
