Wolf Tivy and Matt Ellison talk to Charles Fishman about how the capacity and practical expertise built by grand projects like Apollo transformed the American economy.

Charles Fishman is the acclaimed author of One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission That Flew Us to the Moon. He is a three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb Award, the most prestigious prize in business journalism. Our own Ryan Khurana recently reviewed One Giant Leap for Palladium: “The Apollo Program took an impossible goal and achieved it within a decade. Charles Fishman has written an invaluable history of how social engineers, institution builders, and political deal-brokers made it happen.”
