This week, The Ezra Klein Show examined two expressions of public discontent with American institutions: one rooted in everyday frustrations with government dysfunction, the other emerging from the financial markets' skepticism of economic policy. Together, the episodes explore how distrust spreads across different domains—from the bureaucracy citizens encounter directly to the abstract judgments of bond traders—and what those parallel crises of confidence reveal about the state of the country.
