The Radical Imagination Episode 319: Imagining Jewish Philanthropy and America's Political Economy

On this show we'll be exploring the history of American Jewish philanthropy as it tried to balance the interests of democracy with those of capitalism --the interests of the public good vs. the need for capitalism to grow and profit through the market. Host Jim Vrettos receives guest Lila Corwin Berman, Professor of History and the Murray Friedman Chair of American Jewish History.
