In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill is joined by economist Richard Wolff - author of Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism - who dives into the topic of income inequality, analyzing the widening gap between a booming stock market and a population that increasingly lives in poverty. Wolff then takes questions sent in from around the world by viewers. Also on the show is Sheila Bair, the longtime Republican who served as FDIC chair during the fiscal meltdown five years ago. Bair joins Bill to talk about American banks' continuing risky and manipulative practices, their seeming immunity from prosecution, and growing anger from Congress and the public. Bair is the author of Bull by the Horns: Fighting to Save Main Street from Wall Street and Wall Street from Itself. |
