Episode 7: Rick Perlstein, Reaganland, America's Right Turn 1976-1980

Send us a text



Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian Rick Perlstein for
their discussion of Reaganland.
 
Together they discuss the "Southernization" of American politics,
the causes behind U.S. President Ronald Reagan's rise to power in
the 1970s, and the way that conservatives’ cutthroat strategies
to gain power remain a powerful political force today.
