The Broader Market

PBS addresses the issue of income inequality.  The basic point made in the video is that the gains in productivity have not gone to workers, which explains for the growth in inequality.  Timothy Noah of Slate (who presented a great slide show on income inequality) and Roderick Harrison of Howard University are featured in the video. 

The most salient point of the video is Noah’s claim that the recession did not cause income inequality, but rather laid bare that it has been growing for the past three decades.
