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

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.
