Matt Crawford speaks with author Jeff Fuhrer about his book, The Myth That Made Us. This book exposes the institutionalized myths that we have all come to believe. In a supposedly post-racist society, we have images of the self-made man, the primacy of profit, shareholder value-maximizing for businesses, and of minimal government interference. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and this too can be you! Fuhrer detail how these myths take root and how we can take about them and understand how to counteract a system built on racist ideals.
