Michael Lind, author of Hell to Pay: How the Suppression of Wages is Destroying America and The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite, joins The Realignment. Michael and Marshall discuss the systemic myths that keep too many employees underpaid and overworked, how a post-1980s bipartisan consensus crushed worker power, and why the roots of the demographic, social, identity, and political crises facing America lie in wage stagnation.
