Your Call 033009 What is wealth and who should own it?

What is wealth and who should own it? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Gar Alperovitz, co-author of Unjust Deserts: How the Rich Are Taking Our Common Inheritance. The top 1% of people in the United State own half of wealth of the nation, and 5% own 70%. Do these people who own so much wealth actually deserve it? You can join the conversation by phone or by sending us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How is wealth generated? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest:
Gar Alperovitz, Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland
