In Conversation with Anand Giridharadas

Robert Reich · Robert Reich · last updated

My good friend Anand Giridharadas is out with a wonderful new book, Man in the Mirror, and today I had an opportunity to talk with him about it. One of the things I enjoy most about talking with Anand is how his mind works. He always sees the larger points that surround and give meaning to what’s happening around us. He’s both a journalist and a thinker, a writer and a public philosopher. In Man in the Mirror, Anand recounts a murder in the New York subway — a story that was treated in the media as a passing tragedy — but under Anand’s gaze turns into an extraordinarily insightful look into America today. Please watch our conversation.
