	Description:		American politics is trapped in a duopoly, with two all-powerful parties colluding to stifle competition. We revisit a 2018 episode to explain how the political industry works, and talk to a reformer (and former presidential candidate) who is pushing for change. SOURCES: Katherine Gehl, former president and C.E.O. of Gehl Foods. Michael Porter, professor at Harvard Business School. Andrew Yang, co-chair of the Forward Party and former U.S. presidential candidate. RESOURCES: "Why U.S. Politics Is Broken — and How to Fix It," by Andrew Yang (TED, 2024).
