This week’s paywalled episode is on Robert Moses, his career, and more importantly, what Moses might show us about an autocrat in modern America. Surveys show a slip in support for democracy across most Western nations, so what would they turn to? If an autocracy is the answer, we can look at figure that acted in this way, and for American, Moses is likely an unknown outside of the NYC metro area, but he rules as a quasi-monarch. There are some positives that came with one skilled and visionary man at the helm, but there were negatives as well.
