Kurt Anderson: “Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America"

Season 2020 Episode 3031 | 17m 27s

As the pandemic lays bare social, legal, racial and financial injustice in America, it is vital to examine how the system got its start. Kurt Andersen is a best-selling author and journalist whose latest book examines the origins of America’s hyper-capitalism. He speaks with Walter Isaacson about the genesis and propagation of the system--and the need to take a step back.
