Ayaan is joined by American bestselling author and political commentator Rob Henderson, whose book, Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class, introduced the term “luxury beliefs” to describe ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes. He talks about how his experience as a student at Yale and Cambridge soured him on academia, his belief that many academics are too cowardly to speak out against the illiberal ideas that have swept through higher education, and the political reasons why his bestselling book was kept off of the New York Times bestseller list.
