Democratize our economy

This is the conclusion of a brilliant talk about Greece, Puerto Rico, the A&P bankruptcy. I suggest watching the whole thing if you want to hear the truth about not only the specifics, but the context.

But the last few minutes is the answer to pretty much all of the problems we're facing in America, believe it or not. We have a solution, and we have a rare opportunity to turn this economic inequality around.

It's at 140:04, since DU won't let the time stamp work properly.

Conflict is where being an employee has no connection to the operation of their company, and is literally at their mercy, to one extent or another. Lately, more. It's a pivotal topic since so much of society revolves about where that pivot point is placed. Wolff mentions the instability of our system, and it's time to become a better version of America.
