The puzzling politics of inequality

In this episode, Mark Blyth talks with two inequality experts to try and understand something that’s been bugging him for years.

It goes like this: inequality has profound effects on our economy, society, and lives. It has also been growing, and today is at historically high levels. Given all that, why does inequality never seem to be a topic around which we organize our politics? 

Too complicated? Too boring? Too unsolvable? 

The answers that Mark got made him rethink the question itself, and hopefully will make you see inequality in a new light, too.
