Ep. 15: Robert Ovetz on Going Beyond the Constitution

Luke talks with Robert Ovetz, author of the recent book We The Elites: Why the US Constitution Serves the Few, which is available in paperback and coming soon as an audiobook. Robert has also written several articles about labor issues and democracy for Dollar & Sense, The Chief, and Cosmonaut. Robert covers several topics in the interview, including how he teaches students about U.S. politics, the pitfalls and lessons from the Green New Deal, the necessity of understanding power, and why we should look beyond the Constitution. Luke also co-interviewed Robert on Cosmopod in 2023. That interview focuses more on his book and covers the origins of the Constitution.
