Can the Future Be Saved? A Conversation Between Astra Taylor and Anand Giridharadas

Astra Taylor’s The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart diagnoses a society constructed against its own advancement, wracked by crisis and division. In The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy, Anand Giridharadas profiles organizers, politicians, and ordinary citizens who live there without losing an unyielding faith that they can make the world they want to see one conversation at a time. How do we get there from here? Moderated by Chris Hayes, MSNBC.
