At the McNally-Jackson Bookstore in New York City publisher Rick MacArthur speaks with NYU Professor Mark Crispin Miller about his new book, You Can't Be President, The Outrageous Barriers to Democracy in America.
McArthur says the popular notion that any American can become president only reinforces the "destructive national delusion that widespread, up-from-the-ground, truly popular democracy, both political and economic, really exists in America."
