We look at the existential issues raised by the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is the 24th installment of our Empire and the Deep State series--an in-depth exploration of my new book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. Again I am joined by series co-host Ben Norton of Geopolitical Economy as well our own Seamus McGuinness who is producing the series.

Note: the audio in the later segment sounds different because for some reason the app switched me from my good microphone to my computer’s factory microphone.
