Narrowing the Gap: Wealth and Economic Justice
August 26, 1998
The United States has the largest gap between rich and poor of any industrialized nation and the disparity continues to grow. According to the Organization United for a Fair Economy, the wealthiest 1% of the population has more assets than the bottom 92% combined. At the same time one out of every four children in this country is born into poverty. Now, some of the US’s most well off individuals are advocating for a more equitable means of income distribution. On this program, we take a look at what’s known as Responsible Wealth.
Featuring:
Jenny Ladd, founder, Class Action; Mike Lapham and Bob Burnett, Responsible Wealth.
