We’re doing something a little different this time — swapping feeds with one of our sister shows. On this episode you’ll hear Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum, author of “The Twilight of Democracy.” She spoke last February with Penn State’s McCourtney Institute in a live lecture plus Q&A with the hosts of “Democracy Works.” Applebaum discusses the Republican Party, the Cold War era, and why she believes economic inequality and democratic erosion are not as closely linked as some people think.
