History Conversations REWIND: Nation’s Metropolis: The Economy, Politics, and Development of the Washington Region

Join authors Royce Hanson and Harold Wolman as they discuss their new book, Nation’s Metropolis, which describes how the national capital region functions as a metropolitan political economy. Hanson and Wolman distinguish aspects of the Washington region that reflect its characteristics as a national capital from those common to most other metropolitan regions and to other capitals. To do so, they employ an interdisciplinary approach that draws from economics, political science, sociology, geography, and history. Originally aired July 2023.
