How do we get beyond the rhetoric of “the one percent” to discuss the ruling class in twenty-first century America?

Thursday host Allen Ruff digs into this and other questions about the American ruling class and “who’s controlling the show” with Doug Henwood through the lens of his latest Jacobin article, “Take Me To Your Leader: The Rot of the American Ruling Class.”

Doug Henwood is founder and editor of the Left Business Observer and host of Behind the News on KPFA. His latest book is My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets the Presidency (OR Books, 2016).
