About this episode

Evan Osnos, author and New Yorker staff writer, discusses his new book "The Haves and Have-Yachts." The New York Times bestseller breaks down how the ultra-rich hold more of America's wealth now than they ever did, and how a world of superyachts, luxury bunkers and political donations are ushering in a new Gilded Age with staggering disparities of wealth and power. He speaks with Bloomberg's Tom Keene and David Gura.
