First hour: What exactly is neoliberalism?
Second hour: Bernie Sanders is back in Iowa already
We're getting wonky. It's time to go to school to understand a term we hear tossed around all the time these days: "neoliberalism." Justice Kennedy is a neoliberal? Hillary Clinton? What exactly does that mean? Before your eyes get glassy, our guests will explain how our lives are impacted when everything -- from health care to education to politics -- is commoditized. Our guests:
Lyle Jeremy Rubin is a PhD candidate in history at the University of Rochester, and is writing his dissertation on left-leaning uses of Adam Smith and market economics in the United States
David Hursh is a professor of teaching and curriculum at the University of Rochester's Warner School of Education
In our second hour: Bernie Sanders is planning another trip to Iowa, and, well, we're not Canada, are we? This isn't Canada. It's the United States, where presidential campaigns last for years, and we're always on to the next race. But this time, Democrats feel that it's not too early to get serious about this. They lost the White House. They lost Congress. They're getting crushed in state races. So the decision starting at the top -- Sanders in 2020? -- is the first domino in a national strategy for winning. Should it be about pragmatism or idealism? Our guests will debate it.
