Senator Chris Murphy with Jonathan Capehart at Sixth & I

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut and journalist Jonathan Capehart will hold a discussion on politics and democracy at Sixth & I in Downtown DC. The conversation centers on Murphy’s book *Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America*, in which he draws on history and political philosophy to expose how six different “cults”—profit, globalism, technology, consumption, credentialism, and corruption—have paved the way to current troubles, and offers a new politics of the common good. Murphy argues that Americans have lost the sense of daily purpose and connection vital to happiness, becoming anxious, angry, and adrift, while the rich and well-connected have nearly uncontested control of our politics.
