Introduction

Jonathan Kay is the senior editor at Quilet.com, an independent grassroots platform for heterodox ideas and fearless commentary. Heather McDonald's new book is called When Race Trumps Merit, How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence Destroys Beauty and Threatens Lives. Loyal listeners to this podcast will have heard her hold forth on these themes way back in 2018 when I interviewed her over 200 times.
