Michael and Us: Both Sides Now w/ Alex Shephard
Summary
America is divided, capitalism is to blame, and the only solution is... more capitalism. That's the thesis of STARS AND STRIFE (2020), another centrist documentary from the last election in which the architects of oligarchy and globalization, and big money in politics call for... an end to those things. Niall Ferguson, Rahm Emanuel, Amy Chua, Alan Greenspan, and Francis Fukuyama are just a few of the titans who deliver wildly contradictory prescriptions to America's ills in this truly dreadful documentary. We're joined by New Republic staff writer Alex Shephard to discuss. PLUS: the ongoing grift of David Brooks.<br /><br />"David Brooks and the Endless Grift of the Conservative Commentariat" by Alex Shephard - <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/161621/david-brooks-endless-grift-conservative-commentariat" rel="nofollow">https://newrepublic.com/article/161621/david-brooks-endless-grift-conservative-commentariat</a>
