On this episode of the Ballpark, we take a look at the state of Wisconsin through the lens of deindustrialization. Together with our contributors, we examine how the Badger state’s politics have become more polarized in the past decade and what happened to its people when the factories began to close.
Contributors: Wendy Scattergood (St. Norbert College), Amy Goldstein (Washington Post)
