Anand Giridharadas, author of Winners Take All, on-air political analyst for MSNBC, and publisher of The.Ink joins CHF for a conversation with David Corn, Washington DC Bureau Chief for Mother Jones and author of American Psychosis, about how to change people’s minds in order to change how things are. If you’ve been up at night wondering how to save democracy and communicate effectively with people on the opposite side of the political spectrum, come pick Giridharadas’s brain (and pick up a copy of his new book The Persuaders) for answers.
