On the eighth podcast I have Professor Dennis Rasmussen on to talk about his recently released book Fears of a Setting Sun: The Disillusionment of the Founding Fathers. We get into the fears of the Founding Fathers and how understanding the context of their pessimism can yield new insights into our present moment of political rancor and cynicism.
