Hear about real political and social progress from one of today's most engaging thought leaders. Anand Giridharadas is well-known for his bold, clear, and oftentimes funny perspective on the current moment.
In 2015, he delivered a controversial and now famous speech at the Aspen Institute that took direct aim at the philanthropists and leaders in attendance, suggesting that their (and his own) "good" deeds preserve a harmful system from which they benefit. That critique of capitalism inspired his acclaimed book Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World. His newest, The Persuaders, profiles the activists, politicians, educators, and everyday citizens fighting for democracy.
He'll be joined by Alexis Madrigal from KQED's Forum.
