Malcolm Harris, author of the book "Palo Alto: A History of California Capitalism, and the World," joined the staff of the Voice's sister publication, the Palo Alto Weekly, to talk about the legacy of Leland Stanford and Herbert Hoover, the evolution of capitalism, the history of eugenics at Stanford University and his personal experiences in Palo Alto at a time when the city was addressing a cluster of student suicides. The new book spans from the early days of California's gold rush to the modern era of artificial intelligence and iPhones.
