How Chaos Theory Explains Trump’s Rise To Power

In his new book, political scientist Brian Klaas asks whether every move we make could potentially produce a domino effect.

The author speaks with Walter Isaacson about his belief that randomness shapes our world, from personal circumstances to geopolitical events.
