S3E6: How to Build a Government: Creating a Good Executive

S3E6: How to Build a Government: Creating a Good Executive

Synopsis: What makes a good president? Is it the same as a good king? Does having a single powerful individual have any point? How to be a leader is one of the most debated and talked about subjects in philosophy and social science. It’s very easy to critique a leader, and very hard to make a correct decision in the face of uncertain results. Especially knowing that popular decisions may not be the right decisions. Many of the acclaimed leaders of America have had horrible personality traits, and some of the best people to hold office were bad leaders.

Question of the show: What makes a good leader?
