49:43Now PlayingAriella Thornhill speaks with John Nichols about his new book, Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers: Accountability for Those Who Caused the Crisis. Nichols argues that the pandemic catastrophe was not unavoidable. The massive number of deaths in the US were caused not by the vicissitudes of nature but by the callous and opportunistic decisions of powerful people and the ruthless profit orientation of capitalist society. Nichols outlines the outrageous miscarriages of governance and widespread corruption that has led, on the one hand, to disastrous outcomes for some and massive profits for others.
