America 250: A Republic, if you can keep it
Recorded on July 4th, 2026, this solo episode takes stock of the American Republic on its 250th birthday. Looking back at our history of Gilded Age corruption, and at how the Roman Republic gradually declined to Empire, allows us to see an American system at the temporal crossroads of empire.
