Sean Claffey & Dave Pederson Explore Income Inequality in "Americonned"
Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode are Sean Claffey and Dave Peterson, the director and co-writer of a documentary called "Americonned".
The film examines how the past few generations of workers in the US have experienced income inequality and how once-powerful unions have been crushed by big business and its government influence. Wages aren’t keeping up, yet productivity has skyrocketed, largely on the backs of the American middle class.
The rich are getting richer, the middle class is seeing the bottom drop out. Why? "Americonned" explores what seismic shifts in wealth mean for the future of members of the middle class as consumers and citizens. The documentary is available to stream on Amazon Prime and on YouTube.
