Malcolm Gladwell Doesn't Mind Being Wrong | From Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know

Malcolm Gladwell here, my new book, The American Way of Killing, investigates America's gun violence crisis. Why is the richest country in the world plagued by such lethal violence? Through a series of stories, interviews, and archival tape, I confront one of today's most urgent moral dilemmas and examine Why the US has never quite understood its own problem and why you can't fix what you refuse to see clearly. Get the American way of killing at pushkin.fm slash audiobooks or at Audible, Spotify, or wherever audiobooks are sold.
