Ep 48: Prof. David Faris on the American Dream in a Time of Division
If you could change anything about the American political system what would it be? This question and more get answered in this week’s episode. Once again, I will be turning over the podcast to Professor Andrew Trees, who is the co-chair of the programming committee for the American Dream Reconsidered Conference, which will be held from November 1st to November 4th. Andy will be interviewing Professor David Faris. David will be moderating one of our November 1st panels—The American Dream During a Time of Division. David will be talking with David Axelrod, the former senior advisor to President Obama, and to Bill Kristol, a political commentator the former chief of staff to Vice President Quayle. This reprises a panel we held after President Trump was elected, and I’m curious to hear how things have changed in the intervening years. In the podcast, Andy and David have a wide-ranging conversation talking about everything from politics to baseball as they discuss our current political moment.
