49:31Now PlayingPulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin joins Tara Palmeri to discuss her new book, On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in the Age of Fear. Drawing on stories from whistleblowers, journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens around the world, Angwin explains why authoritarianism thrives on fear—and why collective, nonviolent action has historically been its greatest weakness.
They discuss the warning signs of democratic backsliding, the importance of independent journalism, how corruption ultimately weakens authoritarian movements, and what ordinary people can do to resist intimidation without resorting to violence.
