Episode Details

Doug Henwood's recent Harper's cover story about Hillary Clinton (the title: "Stop Hillary!") has ruffled the feathers of the Democratic Party establishment, and I can only guess how much this pleases Doug. We had a great conversation about his brief early attraction to the ideas of William F. Buckley and Milton Friedman, how and why his politics moved to the left, and how today's economic and political realities call for a more radical confrontation with the status quo.
