With the holidays behind us Chris and Justis welcome in the new year by breaking out of their cinema shell and discussing Olúfhemi Táíwò's book Elite Capture. Listen in to find out what an elite is exactly, what they've captured, why we think it matters, and importantly what we might be able to do about it. We learn surprising things about the impact homemade pasta can have on political theory, and someone may be thrilled to finally have an excuse to talk about one of their favorite political philosophers, Frantz Fanon. Don't forget to email us@fugazipod.com and let us know what you think!
