Democracy— and Its Limits

Democracy is an easy enough word in ordinary times, but what happens when you begin to test the limits? Who gets to decide what it is, or how to protect it? And as we see growing disagreement on all of these questions, what role should the courts have — if any — in drawing the lines?

In this live taping of Wisdom of Crowds, Samuel Moyn (Yale), Osita Nwanevu (The New Republic), and Damir Marusic (The Washington Post) will hash it out.

Join us at Bistro Cacao from 6:30pm-8:30pm on Thursday, May 2 to wrestle with these questions and partake in another lively debate.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Live taping and debate begin at 7pm.Democracy— and Its Limits
