In an era defined by economic uncertainty and bitter politics, Stiglitz makes an important case to solve inequality in America. As the gap between the rich and poor continues to grow, Stiglitz argues that a healthy economy and fair democracy are within our grasp. Hear more about his plan to create more opportunity and get our country back on track.
