Communisim Part 3: Causes, Cures... and Trash TV Friday

Why are so many young Americans reconsidering capitalism—and even expressing favorable views of socialism and communism? The Discussants conclude their three-part series by examining what may be driving this shift, including the results of the Harvard Kennedy School's national survey of young Americans, recent election results, and the broader cultural forces influencing political attitudes.Then it's time for the debut of Trash TV Friday. From 90 Day Fiancé and Big Brother to Love After Lockup, why are millions of people drawn to television they freely admit is terrible? Is it simply entertainment, or does it reveal something important about modern culture?Evidence, humor, disagreement, and a willingness to challenge assumptions—without slogans, clichés, or talking points.The truth is more interesting than fiction—and far more valuable than clichés or talking points.
