In this Baldy Center podcast, John Henry Schlegel and I discuss legal history, especially Realism & CLS, American social and economic history, and what it all means for \"the adventure of thinking.\"

I am a writer, theorist of present dispensations, and law professor. Substantively, this podcast is about politics, economics, culture generally and what one might broadly speaking call philosophy. My preferred form, the form in which I try to move my own thinking forward, is the essay, which sometimes verges into literary not quite nonfiction. One of the things I am working with here is the translation from eye to ear, from text to sound. Sound is different. I hope you enjoy.

\"Constraints: Conflicted Domains, Scarce Resources, Limited Agency\" is Chapter 8 of Maguire and Westbrook, Getting Through Security: Counterterrorism, Bureaucracy, and a Sense of the Modern (Routledge 2020). This chapter is about the limitations, sometimes amounting to helplessness, of putatively powerful bureaucracies.
