Mary is joined by entrepreneur and economic commentator Nick Hanauer to examine the economic ideas and policy choices he argues helped widen inequality in the United States. They discuss stagnant wages, rising corporate profits, weakened worker bargaining power, and the decades-long shift of income and wealth toward the top. Nick Hanauer is a successful business leader, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist.
