SUMMARY:Senator Chris Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut sees the current crisis in the U.S. as more than a political one. Americans have lost the sense of daily purpose and connection that are vital to happiness\, becoming anxious\, angry\, and adrift\, and the rich and well-connected have nearly uncontested control of our politics.  \nSen. Murphy views the Trump administration’s assaults on democracy as a symptom of a deeper crisis: the abandonment of the common good as our country’s organizing principle. In Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America\, he draws on history and political philosophy to expose how six different cults have paved the way to our current troubles: a cult of profit that punishes workers\, a cult of globalism that weakens communities\, a cult of technology that turns us against one another\, a cult of consumption that undermines citizenship\, a cult of credentialism that devalues those without degrees\, and a cult of corruption that threatens democracy.  \nSen. Murphy offers a new politics of the common good that is deeply rooted in our past\, a radical challenge to the status quo\, and capable of drawing support across the political spectrum\, with a majority of Americans favoring policies that curb corporate power\, control predatory technology\, enhance face-to-face connection\, grant workers greater control of their lives\, and remove big money from our politics.  \nSen. Murphy will be in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Capehart\, co-host of the morning edition of “The Weekend” on MS NOW and the New York Times bestselling author of Yet Here I Am: Lessons from A Black Man’s Search for Home.
