Experience the power of civil discourse through storytelling and art as we screen Battle of the Borders: Open the Border or Build the Wall? which highlights both sides of the immigration argument pitting Harvard economist, George Borjas, against George Mason economist, Bryan Caplan, in a UFC style smackdown at the US/Mexico border. This is just the latest in Emergent Order’s groundbreaking “Radical Discourse” series. This initiative draws inspiration from their first viral rap battle, Fear the Boom and Bust, which brought academic debates to millions worldwide in a fresh, entertaining format on the topic of Keynesian economics. CEO and Founder, John Papola, will share the story behind “Radical Discourse,” detailing how high-quality production, fair treatment of opposing views, and culturally relevant formats can rekindle meaningful dialogue on today’s most divisive issues. “Radical Discourse” sets the stage for a conversation that demands nuance, respect, and an open mind. Learn how Emergent Order is making complex debates engaging for new audiences and bringing truth to the forefront—one music video at a time.
