The rising cost of dissent in America | Miles Taylor
About this episode
Miles Taylor discusses the increasing cost of dissent in American public life and its implications for democracy.
Former senior US national security official Miles Taylor shares a personal account that raises a broader civic concern: the growing cost of dissent in American public life. Drawing on his experience inside government and living the consequences of speaking openly, he says that the real threat to US democracy isn't the politicians or hard-liners — it's the two-thirds of Americans who don’t speak up.
