'On Tyranny' Author Timothy Snyder: Interview with Amanda Lang | WONK

Video Description

Listen to WONK, the Public Policy Forum's podcast about big ideas in unprecedented times: https://pod.link/1505539532 Timothy Snyder is one of America’s most important scholars. While his work has focused on Eastern Europe, Russia and on the Holocaust, more recently he’s written hugely popular books about the nature of tyranny and freedom, including On Tyranny and The Road to Unfreedom. He recently moved with his family to Canada, where he is a professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy and is in high demand as someone who can help make sense of what is happening in the world today. In this episode of WONK, the historian and author talks to host Amanda Lang about America’s slide toward tyranny, the importance of local media in democracy and what keeps him hopeful for the future.
