About Our Guest:
Chuck Collins was born on third base - an inheritor of his great-grandfather's meat-packing fortune - but chose to give it up at the age of 26 and dedicate his life to ending inequality. Today, Chuck is a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and directs IPS's Program on Inequality and the Common Good. He is an expert on U.S. inequality and author of several books, including Economic Apartheid in America: A Primer on Economic Inequality and Insecurity, co-authored with Felice Yeskel. (New Press, 2005). He co-authored with Bill Gates Sr. Wealth and Our Commonwealth, (Beacon Press, 2003), a case for taxing inherited fortunes. He is co-founder of Wealth for the Common Good, a network of business leaders, high-income households and partners working together to promote shared prosperity and fair taxation. His newest book, Born On Third Base, has recently been published.
