Summary
Dan Davies, friend of the show and author of The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions—and How the World Lost Its Mind, joins us to discuss Burnhamism. Or maybe Manchesterism? It’s got to be an ism. It’s got to be the perfect mixture of disapproving of the problem and declaring any solution… simply out of bounds.
