Twilight of the Elites
Poll after poll shows very little public faith or support in our institutions, from Congress to the news media. How did we get to this sorry state? Christopher Hayes, the host of "Up with Chris Hayes" on MSNBC says our elites broke our institutions. We'll explore that theory and the possible remedies, with a focus on Hayes's book "Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy."
