The conversation

What makes authority seem legitimate?

James Babb sits down with Larken Rose for a conversation that moves from personal experience to the ideas beneath it: why people believe in authority, how they judge right and wrong, and what happens when those beliefs are challenged.

Rose reflects on prosecution and imprisonment, discusses cases including Jeffrey Weinhaus and Ian Freeman, and follows those questions into his books and filmmaking. They explore The Most Dangerous Superstition, The Iron Web, Jones Plantation and Unbound, before turning to communication, good intentions and reasons for optimism.
