EPISODE 755 - Plutocracy in America

Published: Nov. 30, 2016, 12:03 p.m.

For Beyond 50's "Political" talks, listen to an interview with Ron Formisano. He is William T. Bryan Chair of American History and professor emeritus at University of Kentucky. Since the 1970s, government policies have contributed to the flow of wealth to the upper most income strata, i.e. the 1%. The United States now is more a plutocracy than a democracy. You'll learn about how this infrastructure of inequality, both open and hidden, obstructs the great majority of Americans from pursuing happiness, living healthy lives, and exercising basic rights. Formisano offers data-driven insight into the fallacy of widespread opportunity, the fate of the middle class, and the mechanisms that perpetuate income disparity.
