This is a Closer Look at St. Louis-based writer and journalist, Sarah Kendzior. She started her career at the New York Daily news, then she got her PhD in anthropology, studying authoritarian states in the former Soviet Union. Kendzior joins former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt to talk about “The View from Flyover Country, Dispatches from the Forgotten America," a series of essays on the economic problems in the “Heartland,” that she collected into an e-book, but after the 2016 election,” it was noticed, published and became a NY Times Bestseller, which could be because she had predicted nearly all the developments of the 2016 election, Trump’s win and much of what has occurred since.
