The Privatization of Everything: A conversation with author Donald Cohen

About this episode

Should government be run like a business? No, says Donald Cohen, the founder and executive director of In The Public Interest and author of the book "The Privatization of Everything: How the Plunder of Public Goods Transformed America and How We Can Fight Back"

In this episode, Marianne & Donald go deep into the insidious ways that private industry exerts undue influence on our government. These interests "strip public goods of their power to lift people up, creating instead a tool to diminish democracy, further inequality, and separate us from each other."
