Joan Williams | Outclassed: Rebuilding Trust Between Political Elites and the Working Class

How to Fix Democracy

Legal scholar and author Joan Williams joins How to Fix Democracy to unpack the breakdown of trust between political elites and the American working class. Drawing from her new book Outclassed, Williams explores how class-blindness, cultural signalling, and economic inequality have shapred political divides - and what the left must do to win back working class voters. From language to long-term coalition-building, this episode offers a sobering but essential roadmap for restoring trust.
