The Score with C. Thi Nguyen

from Flux Podcasts (Formerly Theory of Change) · host Aaron

My returning guest this week is C. Thi Nguyen, a professor of philosophy at the University of Utah, and author of the new book The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else’s Game.  We discuss the nature of games, why it's problematic to build a society based on keeping score, and whether or not the real monster is always capitalism.
