Episode description as stored

Ezra Klein is one of the sharpest voices in American politics, but this conversation is not about left versus right. It’s about virtue, responsibility, and character. Ryan and Ezra talk about why virtue matters in a democracy, what liberalism has lost by failing to speak clearly about responsibility, and why institutions alone can’t save a society if the people inside them abandon restraint, honesty, and self-critique. They also get into what Ezra thinks Stoicism gets right, where it falls short, and why Stoicism, or any philosophy, has to be tested in real life. Ezra Klein is a New York Times columnist and the host of The Ezra Klein Show . He is also the co-founder of Vox, where he served as editor-in-chief and later editor-at-large, and previously worked at The Washington Post, The American Prospect, Bloomberg, and MSNBC. 📚 Ezra Klein’s books: Why We’re Polarized Abundance 🎙️ Listen to The Ezra Klein Show on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , or watch on YouTube 👉 Follow Ezra Klein on Instagram | @ezraklein 🎟️ DAILY STOIC LIVE | Ryan Holiday is coming to a city near you !
