If there is anything I have learned these past few years regarding economic policies that have shaped the American worker, inequality and the forces behind it are what make the U.S. economy function the way it does. A small percentage of the population gets rich, while the rest fight for crumbs at the bottom.

I am please to have Peter on the show to outline the factors that shape American inequality.
