About this listen
Why are so many decent, honest people repelled by politics-as-usual? I use the story of Mal Meninga, the celebrated Australian rugby captain, who famously tried politics and quit 30 seconds into his first interview, choking on the very talking points he’d practiced for weeks. He simply balked at the falsity of it all.
His experience reveals something deeply unsettling about our modern democracy. The political system seems to actively filter out the humble and decent, leaving a space that attracts narcissists, Machiavellians and psychopaths.
We conclude with a glimpse at a different, older model of democracy, championed by America's founders and ancient Athens, that offers a way to heal our broken system.
