Episode 2: Why don't our best people rule?

In this episode, Roger and I discuss why sometimes our most intelligent and hardworking members of society seldom reach positions of power. Using Plato's The Republic as a guide we explore what virtues a good society and class of rulers should have and what parallels our society has with ancient Greece in regards to corruption and fraudulent forms of idealism.
