Press play up above.
I hosted Sven Steinmo, a professor of political science at CU Boulder, to discuss his research, interpretations, and opinions of U.S. politics, liberal democracy, and politics more broadly. Steinmo discusses why he thinks we behave the way we do in our interactions with political institutions and breaks down issues with ideas like the American dream. Plus, we discuss Steinmo’s critique on economists like Adam Smith, and the limits of self-interest.
Steimo has researched and lectured around the world and has 20,000+ citations. He’s published books, papers and recieved countless awards over the years.
Just press play!!!
Towards the end, I express some of my views about Colorado politics, Denver county in particular. You may find them interesting.
