In this episode, Prof. Daniel Bessner of the University of Washington discusses his 2018 book "Democracy in Exile", describing the crucial impact that social scientists had in reshaping political institutions during the early Cold War period. This is a fascinating history of the creation of the US think tank ecosystem, the sidelining of majoritarian institutions in an era of crisis, and the origin of foundational ideas in a variety of academic fields.
