Award-winning public policy expert Pepper Culpepper and acclaimed political scientist Takeu Lee joins us for a conversation with Chuck Collins about reviving democracy, corporate greed run amok, and the unexpected silver lining of public scandal — and their new book, Billionaire Backlash: The Age of Corporate Scandal and How it Could Save Democracy.
Giant companies, argue Pepper Culpepper and Takeu Lee, run the world — not governments. They launch rockets into space, control satellite communication and develop era-defining AI technologies. But around the globe, these corporate titans are facing increasing public hostility. Drawing on a decade of research on policymaking and public opinion, Billionaire Backlash shows us how scandals can ignite a public with few political outlets for their discontent.
In a special online conversation, join Culpepper and Lee as they reveal how the shared anger of citizens can be channeled into a backlash that has the potential to reinvigorate our democracies.
