P. Krugman talks with Eoin Higgins author of "Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought ...

the Loudest Voices on the Left”.

Krugman:
Eoin Higgins is the author of “Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left” and publisher of his own Substack. I heard Higgins give a book talk last summer, found it really interesting, then took notice when Matt Taibbi, one of those “loud voices,” sued Higgins on ludicrous grounds. So I thought it would be interesting to have a conversation.

Trying a new technique for video: Posting to my YouTube channel, which I will gradually populate.

Transcript follows.
