In this podcast episode, the discussion focuses on the transformation of American political systems from the New Deal era to the emergence of neoliberalism. Ezra Klein and Gary Gerstle explore key influences on these changes, such as the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the economic crises of the 1970s and 2008. They examine how historical events have reshaped political consensus, the moral dilemmas associated with neoliberalism, and the potential for a new political economy. By the end of the episode, listeners are encouraged to reflect on the uncertain future of American politics and the prospects for bipartisan cooperation based on shared values.
