Anupreeta Das, South Asia Correspondent for The New York Times and author of Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World, joins The Realignment. Anupreeta and Marshall discuss how the era of internet-driven tech wealth compares to the 19th century Gilded Age, lessons from the rise and fall of Microsoft in the 1990s, the state of antitrust against tech companies, and whether billionaires have had a net positive or negative effect on the U.S. in the early 21st century.
