Persuasion
Manage episode 359784817 series 2882305
Politics seem more divided than ever. Can we save democracy through persuasion? On today’s episode we were joined by activist Robert Miller to talk about Anand Giridharadas’ latest book, The Persuaders. Our discussion covered all kinds of topics, including whether political polarisation is really a new problem, how a person might get swept up in conspiracies and cults (such as the Moonies, QAnon, or Satanic worship), and whether promising new strategies like deep canvassing can help build solidarity.
If your local library is out of stock, we recommend pickup up your copy of The Persuaders from your local indie bookshop, or online here: https://thepersuadersbook.com/
