Persuasion

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, why normal people might get swept up in conspiracies and cults, and whether promising new strategies like deep canvassing can help to build solidarity.
