A conversation with D.D. Gutttenplan about who are the new progressive leaders emerging to lead the post-Trump return to democracy in America. We also talk about the midterm elections that are just a few weeks away.
Guest: D.D. Guttenplan is the Editor at Large at The Nation and Editor in Chief of the UK based Jewish Quarterly. He is the author of the new book The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority.
About The Next Republic
It profiles nine successful activists who are changing the course of the history of American politics right now. Additionally, The Next Republic ties in the election and first year of the Trump presidency to the current rise of populism of the left. It also recounts key moments in American history that shed light on current events: the Whiskey Rebellion, the Lincoln Republic, and the Roosevelt Republic. Guttenplan understands the magnitude of the problem of democracy, and at the same time the great possibilities for its resurgence.
