In this week's episode, Senior Advisor Theresa Cardinal Brown sits down with Dr. Adam Ozimek, Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, and Connor O'Brien, Research and Policy Analyst at EIG, to explore their latest report, Exceptional by Design: How to Fix High-Skilled Immigration to Maximize American Interests. They discuss the economic benefits of high-skilled immigration, challenge common misconceptions shaping current policy debates, and outline reforms needed to ensure the United States remains globally competitive.  Exceptional by Design: How to Fix High-Skilled Immigration to Maximize American Interests: https://eig.org/exceptional-by-design/ 

On today's episode, Cardiff chats with his EIG colleagues Adam Ozimek, chief economist, and Connor O'Brien, research analyst, about the one policy that achieves all three of the following goals simultaneously: It massively boosts the rate of economic growth through its effects on entrepreneurship, innovation, and the creation of entire new industries.It reduces inequality.Not only does it cost the taxpayers nothing, it actually saves them huge sums of money. That policy is the expansion of high-skilled immigration, a subject that became a source of contentious debate within the American right not long after the 2024 election. As it happens, Adam and Connor are the co-authors (with John Lettieri) of a big new report, Exceptional by Design, which explains how to design a high-skilled immigration that will maximize its benefits for American workers, businesses, and communities. In this chat, the three discuss: How bad thinking has led to bad policy The surprisingly nuanced economics of high-skilled immigrationThree myths about high-skilled immigrationThe flaws in the current system A new policy vision to change itThe three close with a discussion of why high-skilled immigration carries so much promise for the United States in particular — and the enormous, self-inflicted damage of failing to capitalize on it.

Today, we present an encore 'Full Bio' conversation with author and historian Johnathan Eig, whose book "King: A Life" is the first comprehensive, modern biography of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in decades. First, we'll hear about Eig's research and writing process, plus the early life of "Little Mike,"  King's time as a student at Morehouse and the professors who had an impact on him.Then, hear about a young King's romantic interests and his marriage to Coretta Scott, whose activist work predated his own. We also focus on 1955, the year in which the King family moved to Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to move from her bus seat, and King was drafted to lead a movement.Then, we'll hear about MLK's advisors, such as Bayard Rustin, Ralph Abernathy, and Stanley Levison, and discuss some of King's lesser known protests.And finally, we'll explore King's relationships, his disagreements with activist contemporaries, and how his work, including nearly 30 civil disobedience arrests, impacted his mental health. And finally, a look at King's civil rights efforts and priorities in the last months of his life.

Today, we revisit conversations with two 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning authors. First, King: A Life, the biography by Jonathan Eig, provides a fresh perspective on the life of one of America's most important activists. In today's episode, Eig speaks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about how Martin Luther King, Jr. rose to prominence at such a young age, and how he maintained his spirituality through deep scrutiny and surveillance. Then, A Day In The Life of Abed Salama is a true story that takes place in Jerusalem. In 2012, a bus collided with a semi trailer. Six Palestinian kindergarteners and a teacher burned to death. Abed Salama, who is the father of one of the children, has to navigate physical and bureaucratic barriers as he searches for his son. Author Nathan Thrall revisits the journey and the vivid people, both Palestinian and Jewish, Salama encountered. In today's episode, Thrall and Salama speak with NPR's Leila Fadel about the emotional odyssey and the book's reception after the Hamas attack on Israel in October.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

I ugens udgave af Langsomme Samtaler taler Rune Lykkeberg med den amerikanske journalist og forfatter Jonathan Eig, der for nyligt har fået oversat sin biografi om Martin Luther King Jr. til dansk. Med udgangspunkt i bogen, taler de om myten om King, og betydningen af race i det kommende amerikanske præsidentvalg   I denne uges udgave af Langsomme Samtaler taler Rune Lykkeberg med den amerikanske journalist og forfatter Jonathan Eig om Martin Luther King Jr. og race i USA. Jonathan Eigs store biografi om King er for nyligt blevet oversat til dansk, og er udkommet på forlaget Klim under titlen King: Et liv. I bogen forsøger Jonathan Eig at nuancere fortællingen om King, og forsøger at danne et helt billede af borgerrettighedsforkæmperen gennem interviews med Kings nære venner, nyt arkivmateriale blandt andet fra FBI og andre aktivister. For selvom King havde sine personlige fejl, var hans evne til at bygge bro mellem både det hvide og sorte USA, og græsrodsbevægelserne og regeringsmagten enestående.  Til sidst taler de også, om hvilken betydning race og racerealtioner har for det kommende amerikanske præsidentvalg. Eig mener, at det i høj grad er frygt, der styrer amerikansk politik – og især frygten for 'den anden'. Og her er race ikke et ubetydeligt element. For selvom Amerika er nået langt i kampen mod racisme, er de brune og sorte amerikanere i høj grad stadig 'den anden', især i republikanerne og Trumps optik.

La cautela sigue dominando entre los inversores en una semana de presentación de resultados empresariales que según apunta Alejandro Muñoz, socio fundador de Equam Capital en Capital Intereconomía “están siendo buenos, los márgenes se están manteniendo, a las compañías les vino bien que la inflación se mantuviera alta el año pasado. Invertir en empresas nos protege contra la inflación”. Entre las compañías que presentarán sus cuentas estos días está Repsol. Muñoz asegura que en los resultados de la petrolera “hay que ver si se confirma la generación de caja de 7.000 millones, cómo ha evolucionado el margen de refino y si hay noticias nuevas sobre el acuerdo con EIG en EEUU”. “La compañía está muy barata, como el sector del petróleo”, señala. En el caso de Telefónica, que también presenta cuentas el jueves, desde Equam Capital explican que hay que estar pendientes de la deuda y de cómo evolucionan los resultados en las diferentes zonas geográficas.

For more, visit https://www.wypr.org/show/midday  Tom's guest on this encore edition of Midday is writer and journalist Jonathan Eig, whose latest book is a comprehensive new biography of the slain civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Eig's book — called, simply, King: A Life — is the first biography of the iconic social activist in more than three decades. Jonathan Eig's book incorporates research material unavailable to previous biographers, including hundreds of pages from the files of a close aide to U.S. President Lyndon Johnson — documents that were first made available only last year. One of the book's revelations is that a widely-circulated quote in which King appears to criticize Black Muslim activist Malcolm X was faked. Eig's research discovered that portions of the published transcript of King's controversial interview for "Playboy" had been completely fabricated. Eig reminds us that Dr. King's career as the public face of the civil rights movement was tragically brief. He was gunned down on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis in 1968, just 13 years after he had burst onto the scene as the leader of the Montgomery bus boycott. The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. is an iconic figure, revered around the world. It's easy to forget that in 1963, when he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech during the historic March on Washington, nearly 80% of Americans disapproved of the mass gathering, as it was happening. Eig's new biography helps us understand Reverend King, in our time. Jonathan Eig joined Tom in Studio A in May.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a giant of American history, a figure celebrated in classrooms and public discourse for his towering contributions to the struggle for civil rights. And yet Jonathan Eig's biography, King: A Life, rooted in abundant newly available sources, is the first full-fledged study of King to be published in decades.Eig joins us for an enlightening conversation about King's life and legacy. This is the second of a two-part conversation; the first conversation was released on July 20, 2023.

Jonathan Eig is a highly accomplished journalist and author. His bestselling biography of the boxer Muhammad Ali, entitled Ali: A Life, won the PEN America Literary Award and was the basis for a PBS series about Ali's life and times. Eig is also author of Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig. Eig joins us for an enlightening conversation about Martin Luther King Jr's life and legacy. This is the first of a two-part conversation; the second conversation will be released on August 3, 2023.

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig's King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. — and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family's origins as well as MLK's complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father — as well as the nation's most mourned martyr. Shermer and Eig discuss: how to write biography • the history of the King family going back to slavery, Jim Crow, etc. • the influence of King Sr. on Martin's intellectual and emotional development and the Ebenezer Baptist Church • King's early experience with racism in the south • King's religious beliefs and the influence of his faith on his civil rights activism • the influence of Gandhi and Reinhold Niebuhr on King's strategic activism and deep belief in nonviolence • King's politics • Malcolm X • Native Americans • gay rights • accusations of plagiarism, and more… Jonathan Eig is a former senior writer for the Wall Street Journal.

Our June Full Bio selection is King: A Life, the first comprehensive account of Martin Luther King Jr. in three decades, written by Jonathan Eig. On day one, we discuss Eig's writing process and the early life of "Little Mike," as well as King's time as a student at Morehouse and the professors who had an impact on him.

In contemporary political discourse, the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. have often been reduced to a snappy soundbite articulating his "Dream" of seeing his children judged, "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." In his new biography of King, Jonathan Eig uses tons of new sources, including memoirs and recordings from King's immediate family to paint perhaps the definitive portrait of the most storied Civil Rights leader of the 20th Century. He shows how King's upbringing led him to adopt religion in the cause of freedom. He also illustrates the side of his life that King tried to keep hidden, and shows how that impacted the way he fought for justice in American public life. Eig calls King one of America's Founding Fathers, and this episode will show you why.Jonathan Eig's website can be found at https://www.jonathaneig.comInformation on his book can be found at https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374719678/kingalifeSupport our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistory https://instagram.com/axelbankhistory

Jonathan Eig's book “King: A Life” is the first comprehensive biography in decades of Martin Luther King Jr., drawing on reams of interviews and newly uncovered archival materials to paint a fuller picture of the civil rights leader than we have received before. On this week's podcast, Eig describes the process of researching and writing the book, and tells the host Gilbert Cruz how he tracked down resources that were unavailable to earlier biographers.“I was a newspaper reporter for a long, long time — and you know, working on daily stories, if you got five days to work on a story, it was a luxury. Now I've got five, six years to work on a story, and I take full advantage of that," Eig says. "It took me two years to find, even though I knew it was out there, this unpublished autobiography that Martin Luther King's father wrote. Nobody had ever quoted from it. ... Stuff like that just gets me really, really pumped up.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general. You can send them to books@nytimes.com.

Today on Here's Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon talks with Jonathan Eig, the author of the new Martin Luther King Jr. biography, King: A Life. Eig spent six full years researching and writing about King's life. He shares countless moments and pieces of King's story that get left out of the general image we have of the I Have a Dream preacher. He also argues that, through honoring the Civil Rights activist with a holiday and through flashy quotes and merch like mugs and tees, we lose sight of the real King and his radicalism.Special thanks to our guest, Jonathan Eig, for joining us today.

In Part 2 of our interview with journalist Jonathan Eig about his new book, King: A Life, the first major biography of the civil rights leader in more than 35 years, he talks about King's early life and father; King's formerly enslaved grandparents; the FBI's push for him to abandon colleagues who were communists; and his opposition to the Vietnam War and launch of the Poor People's Campaign just before he was killed. “We need to remember the radical words he spoke, and not just the safe ones,” Eig says. In Part 1, we looked at how the book draws on unredacted FBI files, as well as the files of the personal aide to President Lyndon Baines Johnson, to show how Johnson and others partnered in the FBI's surveillance of King and efforts to destroy him, led by director J. Edgar Hoover. Eig also interviewed more than 200 people, including many who knew King closely, like the singer, actor and activist Harry Belafonte. The book has also drawn attention for its revelation that King was less critical of Malcolm X than previously thought.

The author of a new biography about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. unravels the story of how one fabricated quote perpetuated a story that King and fellow civil rights leader Malcolm X were antagonists. Read more:When author Jonathan Eig was doing research for his new biography about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., he was digging through archives and libraries, trying to find information about the historic civil rights leader. One day, he was reading the full, unedited transcript of an interview between journalist Alex Haley and King. Eig was familiar with the published version of that interview, which appeared in a 1965 issue of Playboy. But as Eig read the unedited transcript, he was shocked. Haley had taken King's words out of context and completely fabricated a quote that criticized fellow civil rights leader Malcolm X.Today, Eig breaks down how this quote fueled the public perception that the two leaders were adversaries and explains the truth behind King and Malcolm X's relationship.

King:A Life, the new biography by Jonathan Eig, provides a fresh perspective into the life of one of America's most important activists. From his upbringing in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward neighborhood to his path through university and the frontlines of the Montgomery bus boycott, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s career and impact is explained through his faith and relationships. In today's episode, Eig speaks to NPR's Steve Inskeep about how Dr. King rose to prominence at such a young age, and how he maintained his spirituality through deep scrutiny and surveillance.

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig's King: A Life (FSG, 2023) is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.--and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family's origins as well as MLK's complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father--as well as the nation's most mourned martyr. In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history's greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime. Jonathan Eig is a former senior special writer for The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of several books, including two highly acclaimed bestsellers, Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig and Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season.
