“Richard has a new book out called Kakistocracy: Why Populism Ends in Disaster. I’m happy to have blurbed that book. A lot of the book is about the stupidity of our current politics.”

“You’ve written a book on populism. Again, it’s your new book, Kakistocracy. Conrad’s Nostromo, parts of it can be read, is about Latin American populism. Does it bug you in any way, or what insight do you draw from it?”

“You’ve written a book on populism. The future of populism is uncertain. It could die out, or it could just be everything becomes populist. In a sense, in that scenario, maybe you can’t just keep on writing books about populism.”
