Empire and the Deep State - American Exception w/ Aaron Good
About this episode
In this fascinating and fun episode, Aaron Good comes on the show to discuss his book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. This is a great conversation which focuses on Aaron's conceptualizing of exceptionism and how the American Empire works. This topic is critical for us, as the concept of "the Deep State" has been distorted by the right-wing, and obscures the workings of the actual Deep State here within the belly of the beast.
Aaron Good has a PhD in Political Science from Temple University. His dissertation, "American Exception: Hegemony and the Tripartite State," examined the state, elite criminality, and US hegemony. His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State is available from Skyhorse Publishers, and he has a website and podcast of the same name which can be found at https://americanexception.com/. Aaron can be followed on twitter @Aaron_Good_.
