Show Notes
<html><p>Unless you're an early access supporter of the show, this is the last episode you'll hear before the presidential election, which will profoundly shape the state, or looming absence, of American democracy.</p><p><br/></p><p>The critical importance of the choice between Harris and Trump has much of the country thinking about getting more people involved in politics—and the question of political participation, and particularly how much of it is reasonable, is what my guest spends a great deal of his time thinking about.</p><p><br/></p><p><a href="https://kevinjelliott.net/" target="_blank">Kevin J. Elliott</a> is a political scientist and Lecturer in Ethics, Politics, & Economics at Yale University. He's the author of <em><a href="https://amzn.to/3zVycba" target="_blank">Democracy for Busy People</a></em>, and I've brought him back on the show to discuss the barriers to democratic participation, the "Paradox of Empowerment," and what it would look like to get more Americans interested in the political process.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Want to listen to new episodes of </strong><em><strong>ReImagining Liberty</strong></em><strong> two weeks early? </strong><a href="https://www.reimaginingliberty.com/" target="_blank"></a><strong><a href="https://www.reimaginingliberty.com/" target="_blank">Become a supporter</a></strong><a href="https://www.reimaginingliberty.com/" target="_blank"></a><strong> and get early access and other perks.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><em>Produced by </em><a href="https://landryayres.com/" target="_blank"></a><em><a href="https://landryayres.com/" target="_blank">Landry Ayres</a></em><a href="https://landryayres.com/" target="_blank"></a><em>.
