The Tightrope of Modern Politics

Alejandro joins the show to discuss some potentially troubling trends in the US political climate and what can be learned from a comparative look at other nations. This conversation is centered around political polarization, the unchecked expansion of politics into our daily lives, and changing attitudes towards wealth creation and socialism. Discussion of these trends leads to an inspection of a range of related topics including:

- the growing barriers to being "moderate"

- what has bred turmoil and instability in Venezuela

- the signs of an unhealthy and divisive political environment

- why socialism tends to inspire the youth

- growing extremism and political intolerance in Spain

- avoiding the idealization of European social programs and healthcare

- what makes the "Scandinavian model" work

- projecting the future of US politics, Biden-era and beyond

and many more!
