EP. 739: WARDS OF THE STATE: THE LONG SHADOW OF FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IN AMERICA ft. CLAUDIA ROWE

Get Claudia's book here: https://store.abramsbooks.com/products/wards-of-the-state

 

Wards of the State starts with the story of Maryanne who had been arrested for murder by the time she was 16. In and out of foster and adoptive homes since age 10, she’d run away, been trafficked and assaulted, and finally pointed a gun at the latest man to take her into his car. She pulled the trigger and fled. But with no family to turn to and few reliable friends, it didn’t take long for the police to catch up with her.

 

The book goes on to acquaint us with five other foster kids, including an 18-year-old sleeping on the New York City subways; a gangbanger-turned graduate student; and a foster child who is now a policy advisor to the White House. Author Claudia Rowe paints a visceral survival narrative showing exactly where, when, and how the system channels children into locked cells. Balanced with accounts from psychologists, advocates, judges, and foster parents, Wards of the State paves a road to reform by pulling back the curtain on a broken system and the searing realities faced by kids who may be sitting in classrooms next to your own children.

BEYOND THE RED ZONE: WHY DID SHEDEUR FALL SO FAR IN THE DRAFT?

There have been players before that dictated where they wanted, or didn't want to go, both of those more high profile players (John Elway, Eli Manning) had high profile fathers that were influential in their decision making. Why is Shedeur Sanders any different? Is it as simple as race--or is it something more? What role does the NIL play in all of this? We'll discuss.

THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM 4/24/25: WAS POP MUSIC BETTER IN THE 70s?

EP. 734: UNDERSTANDING POLITICAL ECONOMY ft. ALEXANDER HERBERT

Sign up for Alex's course here: https://www.patreon.com/courseswithalex/shop/introduction-to-political-economy-3-20-1424227?utm_campaign=productshare_fan

"Political Economy" is precisely what the name implies: a unity between political and economic policy. It is the father of modern economics, joined with the mother (cousin?) of history and political science. As the scientific study of economics emerged, it was integrally tied to political incentives and, by extension, questions of morality. We will explore the foundational texts of modern political economy from Adam Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Menger, Marshall, Keynes, and more. This course is highly recommended before exploring Karl Marx's Capital.
