Event Calendar
Former Senator Russell Feingold will make an appearance at Stanford University, as a guest on a live recording of the nationally syndicated radio program Philosophy Talk.
Feingold joins Philosophy Talk co-hosts and Stanford philosophers John Perry and Ken Taylor for a conversation about the threat corporations present to democracy. The US prides itself on the strength of its democratic institutions and considers itself a leader in the promotion of democratic values around the globe. But can we consistently maintain this self-image in the face of the growing power of corporations?
Russell Feingold, the former US senator from Wisconsin, is founder of Progressives United and author of While America Sleeps: A Wake-up Call for the Post-9/11 Era.
