A Plan to Put the Brakes on Runaway Inequality and Countering Hate without Feeding The Trolls

Why do we have extreme economic inequality in the richest country in the world? This week on the Heartland Labor Forum, we talk to Les Leopold about his new book, Runaway Inequality: An Activist’s Guide to Economic Justice. He’ll tell us why and also give some plausible solutions to the problem. Then find out how activists responded to the hate group, Act for America, when they came to Kansas City. Was it love versus hate or just a lot of screaming? Thursday at 6pm, rebroadcast Friday at 5am.
