With guest host Todd Zwillich.
How should American leaders use their power on the global stage?
Former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power spent her career in journalism and diplomacy contemplating this question.
Her new memoir is called “The Education of an Idealist.”
We hear from her, and we also speak with Raj Kumar.
Kumar has worked on “researching and writing about aid interventions in the developing world,” throughout his life, according to Vox., and is the president of Devex, a media platform for people and organizations working in global development.
How much foreign interference is too much? How can more economically powerful countries best assist those that are still developing? And should they?
We talk about those questions and more.
Produced by Stacia Brown.
