Are celebrity politics the spice of American public life or a pox on policy progress? Dr. Lauren A. Wright’s book “Star Power: American Democracy in the Age of the Celebrity Candidate” identifies and measures the attributes of celebrities that make them well-equipped to win campaigns and yet poorly prepared to govern effectively. Join us for a look at the effect celebrity politicians are having on American democracy with Dr. Lauren A. Wright in this edition of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
