Abstract: The political scientist Adam Przeworski, born in Poland and now professor emeritus at New York University, is one of the most influential thinkers about democracy of the last century. He is the author of many books, including Capitalism and Social Democracy, Paper Stones: A History of Electoral Socialism (with John Sprague), Democracy and the Market: Political and Economic Reforms in Eastern Europe and Latin America, and Crises of Democracy. In February, he began posting a public diary to Substack to register his reactions to daily events. Over a series of emails this July, Adam and I discussed his life and career, how political science can and can't help us understand historical transformations as they take place, and the perils and opportunities of our moment.
