Episode Synopsis "Democracy, The Media & Political Action (with Dr. Eric Gorham)"

As we observe societies that continually fail to act in the interests of the majority of their populations, we are compelled to call into question their modes of governance. Can we rely on democracy to fulfil its promise in the face of corrupting trends in contemporary media? How can we be effective political actors without the resources and influence of gun and oil lobbyists? Do we have time to approach climate change with cool headed democracy or might we need a kind of climate dictator to see us through? I ask these questions and many more as I talk to political scientists Dr. Eric Gorham on the very first episode of Wicked Problems.
