The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution: A Conversation

Joseph Fishkin and William Forbath join us to discuss their book The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution. We talk about what their book's title describes, why they think it matters to describe it as a "constitutional" position rather than a "mere" set of policy prescriptions, the importance of historical traditions in thinking about the political use of the word "constitutional," the advantages and disadvantages of using that word as an intensifier, and more (including a digression of the possibility of "secession" or a division of the United States into "blue" and "red" nations)."
