Wealth inequality gets talked about as an economic problem. Writer Xochitl Gonzalez makes the case that it's a civic one, too — a slow, quiet threat to democracy. Drawing on her research into the psychology of social class, she shows how growing up with (or without) money changes how we experience politics, community and society. After the talk, Modupe shares why she thinks the work place is the prime location to talk about wealth inequality. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
