Description
Zohran Mamdani’s primary win in the NYC mayoral run shocked many, who wondered why people would support a candidate with so many poorly thought out policy proposals. What is the explanation for the enduring popularity of socialism—particularly among the young and very privileged?
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Rob Henderson about these questions and more, including what the future holds for Gen Z and the secret to enduring relationships.
Rob Henderson is the author of Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class.
