Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Since the nineteen-seventies, promotional campaigns have urged us to “Buy American” in everything from cars to clothing. Kojo and guests discuss the history of economic nationalism, the odd bedfellows it made, and its future in the age of globalization.
Guests
- Dana Frank Author of "Buy American: The Untold Story of Economic Nationalism"; also Professor of American Studies at University of California, Santa Cruz
- Joel Joseph Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Made in the USA Foundation
