Gordon Lafer: The 1% Solution and Builidng the Kansas City Skyline

This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we’ll interview Gordon Lafer about his new book which asks what elites are doing with all their new-found power. We’ll review with him The One Percent Solution: How Corporations Are Remaking America One State at a Time. It’s a scary story. Then, we’ll take a look at Kansas City’s urban design from the JC Nichols fountain to the Power and Light district: big structures can define a city. We’ll talk about skyscrapers and how they changed how Kansas Citians worked. Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
