Fareed Zakaria Thinks Steve Bannon Got One Thing Right

In this episode of The Ezra Klein Show, Ezra Klein interviews Fareed Zakaria, host of Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN and author of "Age of Revolutions." They discuss the historical roots of far-right populism, the shift from economic to cultural dividing lines in politics, and the impact of social media on political discourse. Zakaria argues that cultural discontents, rather than purely economic factors, are driving the rise of populism in many countries. They also explore the challenges faced by left-leaning parties in connecting with the working class and the need for a new, more populist left. The conversation touches on immigration policy, the role of elites, and the importance of individual freedom and choice. Finally, they address audience questions about local politics, U.S. foreign policy, and book recommendations.
