EP 33: IMAGINATION NATION (Richard Beck)

Nearly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, RICHARD BECK, author of
"We Believe the Children: a Moral Panic in the 1980s "(Public
Affairs, 2015) and a senior writer at N+1, spoke to New Models
about social contagion—from the wild, child abuse allegations of Q
and the satanic panics of recent history to the witch trials and
blood libels of times before. Deepening the conversation is
Richard’s current work on the War on Terror and its remaking of the
American worldview. For more: Twitter: @Richard__Beck Richard’s
next book, "Fear Itself" is forthcoming from Crown
