Exploring the World of MLMs and Their Impact on Participants

Ronny Chieng chats with historian and bestselling author, Yuval Noah Harai, to discuss his new children's book called, "Unstoppable Us, Vol. 2: Why the World Isn't Fair." He shares with Ronny how evolutionary history helps explain children's behaviors, such as calling their moms if there's a monster under their bed or eating a bunch of sweets at once. Plus, Journalist and author Jane Marie sits down with Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic to discuss her new book “Selling the Dream,” which dives into the world of Multi-Level Marketing. They go deep into the allures of MLMs, the top-down recruitment system, how they prey on the underpaid women’s American dream, and the difficulty the FTC has in combating them.
