This episode takes up the topic of Utopia. What value do dreams of a better world have for understanding politics in the real world? What impact has utopian thinking had on the evolution of the political world over the past few centuries? Can imagining utopias provide a way to solve political challenges in our contemporary world? These and other questions our guest, Professor Mark Jendrysik, addresses in his marvelous new book entitled Utopia.
