Part One: We speak with John Benjamin, an MBA student and Dean’s Fellow at the MIT Sloan School of Management, about his piece at the New Republic, “The bankrupt Ideology of Business School.”

Part Two: Mark Stern covers courts and the law for Slate. He joins us to discuss is recent piece, “California is Disenfranchising Thousands of Voters Based on Their Handwriting.” He’s also covered a similar story in NH, where election officials become amateur handwriting experts. If officials (who are not graphologists) decide to toss ballots, they don’t notify the voters. In California a disproportionate number of Asian American voters are disenfranchised. In NH it’s seniors and people with disabilities.
