Episode 45: Where Did Identity Politics Come From?
On episode 45, Charles admits that he missed the podcast's anniversary. Then he talks to Yascha Mounk about his new book, 'The Identity Trap: A Story of Ideas and Power in Our Time.' Among the topics discussed are where identity politics comes from, how it spread so fast over the last ten years, why it's a problem, whether opposition to it should be moral or practical or both, and what will happen if it's not checked.
