Atlanta and the American Dream

AJC editor-in-chief Leroy Chapman sits down with John Hope Bryant to discuss Bryant’s new book, Capitalism for All, and his argument that economic mobility is the unfinished work of the civil rights movement. Bryant explains why he believes Atlanta is uniquely positioned to lead what he calls a “third reconstruction,” centered on financial literacy, entrepreneurship and broader access to opportunity. The conversation also explores the political frustration driving more Americans toward independent politics, the limits of partisan economic messaging, and why Bryant believes “the only true freedom is financial freedom.” Have a question or comment for the show?
