James Pogue, writer of multiple articles on neoliberalism, the New Right, and America after Neoliberalism, joins The Realignment. James and Marshall discuss his NYT article on Senator Chris Murphy's efforts to realign the Democratic Party, the cost of Neoliberalism, why the New Right has struggled to build a successful political movement, the disillusionment of young men, and why America is facing a crisis of identity and meaning despite material progress and economic plenty.
