What Robert Caro’s books taught me about power

I recently got to interview Robert Caro, who is my favorite author of all time. This gave me the excuse to reread his biographies of Lyndon Johnson and Robert Moses. I decided to compile their lessons about power into this video essay. Thanks to Max Farrens, who paired with me in writing the script for this video essay, and to Aaron and Ishan, who produced this video essay.
