Each of us is the product of a long string of decisions and even chance that occurred long before we were even born – a thought that can boggle the mind. Brian Klaas is professor of global politics at University College London and host of the Power Corrupts podcast. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the ways our actions and even inactions affect not just our lives, but history, and how we find ways to knit all this chaos into neat versions of reality. His book is “Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters.”
