Anand Giridharadas: Can Persuasion Save Democracy? | The Agenda

Is persuasion dead? Does the left have a bigger persuasion problem than the right? What happens to democracy when we stop trying to persuade each other, and only condemn and write each other off? Anand Giridharadas discusses his book, "The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy," the American mid-term elections, and why we actually need to persuade people instead of just yelling at them.
