Timothy Snyder & Nora Krug: On Tyranny – Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
Episode Description
A discussion with Timothy Snyder (Yale University) and Nora Krug (Parsons School of Design), author and illustrator of “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century”, and Toda’s Kevin Clements and Paula Green. They discuss factors that contribute to the rise of tyranny: a widely felt sense of approaching doom largely caused by climate change, the stupefying inequality of wealth, and social media’s appeal to our lowest instincts.
