Amanpour and Company

Philosopher Michael Sandel on the "Poisoning" of U.S. Politics

Season 2025 Episode 8025 | 18m 31s

Huge numbers of working-class Americans voted for President Trump in the last election — even as he promised to extend tax breaks to the richest. Harvard philosophy professor Michael Sandel joins the show to discuss what factors he says are widening the income and education gap in the U.S. and contributing to Trump's populist rise to power.
