Why is the American dream no longer a reality in America? Heather McGhee, author of the instant New York Times Bestseller The Sum of Us, says it's because of one major factor: America's zero-sum worldview. "The idea that there is a 'fixed pie' of wellbeing, and when one group gets a bigger slice, the other group must get a smaller slice," she says. In The Sum Of Us, Heather takes readers on a journey across the country, where she explores, with intelligence and great care, what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm. In this exclusive clip, Heather shares how our country's racialized zero-sum worldview impacts our ability to work together, and when we beat it, we can all prosper.
