Has America Gone With the Wind?

How does a novel set in 1860s, and published in the 1930s relate to America in 2022? This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnson talks to author Sarah Churchwell about her new book ‘The Wrath to Come’ which looks at the mythmaking that sprung up following the Civil War right through to the current debates about racism and the far right in the United States. Just how many people find feedback in the workplace helpful, and does it work? Mandy talks to The Deputy Editor of the Financial Times Magazine, Esther Bintliff. And Mandy chats to Tax Expert Marian Ryan of 'Taxback' about what a new 30% Tax Band would mean for people and politics.
