Summary
Is having a vast gap between rich and poor an accidental, unavoidable part of modern economics - or is the disparity politically engineered? In this edition of Moyers and Company Bill Moyers speaks with Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson, who argue in Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class that government policies have been deliberately restructured to favor the wealthy. The program includes Senate-hearing testimony by a middle class American about the impact of hard times on families, a trip to Occupy Wall Street, and a Moyers essay on how the Occupy movement reflects a widespread belief that Washington no longer works for ordinary people.
