58:19Now PlayingBob Garfield discusses his book, "American Manifesto", at Politics and Prose.
As Garfield demonstrates in this brisk, no-nonsense book, Trumpism has been fifty years in the making, the product of heightened individualism and the disintegration of mass media into partisan reporting—all overseen by Facebook and Google and fomented by technology’s proclivity for identity bubbles. None of this is cause for despair, however, and Garfield, cohost of WNYC’s Peabody Award-winning On the Media, follows his analysis with six clear, actionable steps we can take to counter divisiveness and pull our country back together. Garfield will be in conversation with Mark Leibovich, chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine.
