Fixing our Democracy with Lawrence Lessig
<p>Thanks again for your support and listening.<br/><br/>Today, I’m very honored to speak with Lawrence Lessig. For those that don’t know this impressive human.</p><p>Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School, prior to which he founded the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School, and taught at the University of Chicago. Founder of <a href='https://equalcitizens.us'>Equal Citizens</a> and a founding board member of Creative Commons, Lessig serves on the Scientific Board of AXA Research Fund and has received numerous awards including a Webby, Free Software Foundation's Freedom Award, Scientific American 50 and Fastcase 50 Awards.</p><p>Cited by The New Yorker as “the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era,” Lessig's current work addresses “institutional corruption”—relationships which, while legal, weaken public trust in an institution—especially as that affects democracy. His books include: <br/><a href='https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B07NVQLJ32&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_7v0kFbD6EA7QD'>They Don't Represent Us (November 2019)</a>, <a href='https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B07PNRJY6Q&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_dy0kFbSK4ZVZ2'>Fidelity & Constraint: How the Supreme Court Has Read the American Constitution (May 2019)</a>, <a href='https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B07H9HP32S&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_yz0kFbA9BFK38'>America, Compromised (2018)</a>, <a href='https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B00XUPPQOM&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_wB0kFbAD2KVAT'>Republic, Lost v2 (2015)</a>, <a href='https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B00XUPPQOM&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_ZA0kFbN47W8DX'>Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress—and a Plan to Stop It (2011</a>) among many others.
