How is growing economic inequality transforming American politics?

Why is income inequality on the rise in the U.S.? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with UC Berkeley political scientist Professor Paul Pierson. He is co-author of Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer--and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class. The income gap in the U.S. has widened over the past 30 years, more than most other developed countries. What's behind the widening income gap? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar.

Guest:
Paul Pierson, Professor of Political Science and holder of the Avice Saint Chair of Public Policy at UC Berkeley
