An Inner History of the New America
Michael Lipkin | June 19, 2013, 10:00 am
A gas station owner in the South who becomes one of the strongest advocates for green energy. A one-time aide to Joe Biden-turned-lobbyist, who now says the system is hopelessly corrupt. Their stories--and a half dozen others--document what author George Packer says is a dissolution of American institutions. He joins us on Chicago Tonight at 7:00 pm. His latest book is The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America. He is also a staff writer for The New Yorker. Read an excerpt from his book below.
