Dave's guest is David Vine, professor of Anthropology at American University. His absorbing and distressing 2015 book Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World deconstructs the conventional wisdom underpinning our nation’s vast global network of military installations and illuminates the many destructive consequences they cause.

Ep. 10 David Vine

A podcast exploring critical issues facing America today - social justice causes, systemic racial oppression chief among them; an outdated, visionless and unsustainable foreign policy; a broken food system in which we are literally eating ourselves to death, and a political system so dysfunctional it feels almost beyond reform. All of this unfolding within a world of accelerating exponential technological change and in a country that doesn’t really know itself. Where myths and half-truths still define the narratives we believe in and live by. So who are we really, deep down? And how did we get here? What’s actually happening today, right now? And where do we go from here, together, as a nation and a people – in a future that is very much to be determined.
