Anand Giridharadas: Why "Tech Guys" Like Elon Musk Are "Very Limited Men"

Anand Giridharadas, author the "The Persuaders," attempts to persuade billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk why they are the cause of most of our problems, not the solution. He explains why Bezos's pledge to give away all his money was perfectly timed with layoffs at Amazon and why "tech guys" like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg should not be in charge of human interaction because they are "people who maybe understand the least about human interaction."
