How wealth inequality is wrecking us and what we can do about it.
Bill Resnick and Chuck Collins talks about how inequality is ruining the world. Chuck points out how the concentration of wealth undermines democracy, the economy and our capacity to do anything about large-scale problems. They talk about public campaign finance reform, breaking up big banks and corporations, and radically reforming the tax-system to tax the rich. Bill points out that the concentration of wealth has closed off political space for ordinary people and public institutions.
Chuck Collins is a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies and an expert on US inequality. He is also the author of "99 to 1: how wealth inequality is wrecking the world and what we can do about it"
