Episode Details

Theo Baker arrived at Stanford as an eager freshman planning to study computer science and maybe write occasionally for the student paper. But his reporting uncovered something much bigger, ultimately leading to the resignation of Stanford’s president. In his new book, “How to Rule the World,” Baker argues the university functions less like a school and more like a pipeline to power, wealth and Silicon Valley influence. We’ll talk with Baker about what the next generation of elites are really learning at Stanford.

Guests:

Theo Baker, investigative journalist and author, "How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University"
