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.
