Michael Lewis has an extraordinary ability to help us make sense of the world. Whether he's writing about Wall Street or Silicon Valley, baseball or behavioral economics, he has a way of taking subjects that seem intimidating or opaque and turning them into compelling human stories. In this episode, Katie and Michael sit down to discuss his new book, Blockers, an inside look at the career public servants caught in the unprecedented effort to dramatically reshape the federal government during the second Trump administration. It's an illuminating conversation about the people and institutions that quietly keep the country running, and why understanding their value matters more than ever at this pivotal moment in American history.
