Patrick Radden Keefe, periodista: “Vivimos tiempos profundamente mercenarios. ¿Tienes dinero? Bienvenido”
El reportero estadounidense es uno de los escritores de no ficción más brillantes de su generación. Vuelve con un libro en el que late la nueva cultura del dinero
Patrick Radden Keefe, a renowned investigative journalist and one of the most brilliant non-fiction writers of his generation, expresses deep concern about the future of press freedom in the United States. During his first trip abroad during the first Trump administration, he was hesitant to bring his laptop on return flights from New York's airport due to fear of its confiscation by airport security.
Speaking at a restaurant in Barcelona, he noted that living in an era where even a non-criminal American citizen feels intimidated by secret police, a modern-day Stasi, is deeply troubling.
Currently, The New Yorker, the prestigious magazine where Keefe has been working for 20 years, is already contemplating measures to take if the Department of Justice enters with a search warrant.
