Idea: Should policy have a conscience?
A Talk about the state of our union.
What’s the cost of privilege? Can our policy have a conscience? Is philanthropy enough? Can substantive debates be reduced to 280 characters? We’re asking the big questions that Americans from coast to coast confront on a daily basis. At this Talk, hosted by CNN White House Correspondent Abby Phillip, we’ll reflect on the state of our union as we hear from leaders who are exploring some of the most daunting challenges of our time.
