Trade unionist and researcher Dustin "Dino" Guastella joins us to talk about the deficiencies of a libertarian or antinomian approach to social problems. We start off with Dino telling us about the Teamsters union, before moving on to:
-
How have American cities developed such problems?
-
What are the pros and cons of the 'Portuguese Model' of drug decriminalization?
-
What is the problem with harm reduction, and how does it connect to notions of 'bare life'?
-
How are insecurity and precarity changing people's political demands and expectations?
-
Is there something to be learned from the Christian tradition? Should we all be reading Alasdair MacIntyre?
-
How do we build a politics of human flourishing?
