In this episode, we are thinking historically with Dr. Michael Kazin, Professor of History at Georgetown University. Dr. Kazin helps us think historically about different historical perspectives of the famous New York City political machine, Tammany Hall. The conversation demonstrates history's complexity and how more evidence often leads to more nuance. Dr. Kazin is an expert on political history of this era and listeners can learn more from his scholarship in his most recent book: What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party.
