Who’s Afraid of the Common Good?

Josh opens the show by discussing what "the common good" really means as the debate takes center stage across the country. He explains the difference between policies that genuinely serve the common good and the way the phrase is being used by some to advance their own political agenda.

Oren Cass, Chief Economist at American Compass, joins Josh to discuss inflation, the growing conversation surrounding the New Right movement, and the renewed focus on the idea of the common good. They also examine the rise of data centers and what their long-term impact could be on the U.S. economy.

With it being primary day in Michigan, Josh wraps up the show by discussing the DSA-backed candidate on the ballot and what a primary victory would say about the direction of Democratic voters in the state.
