Rebecca Solnit Says Trump's Strongest Foil Has Been Here All Along | The Interview

Description

How does the critically acclaimed progressive writer Rebecca Solnit view the world? In our era of democratic backsliding, technological disruption and looming climate disaster, is there a more hopeful way to enact change? Solnit has written a new book, “The Beginning Comes After the End,” a thematic sequel to her classic “Hope in the Dark.” David Marchese, a host of “The Interview,” says the new book “shines a light on the vibrant world often hidden within our own seemingly gloomier one — a world that has embraced ideas of interconnection, ecological care and political equality.” Solnit and Marchese discuss fighting climate change, countering Donald Trump, the power of the people in Minneapolis and more during their conversation.
