Inequality in America with Jane Fonda and Saru Jayaraman
We are living through a period of income inequality not seen since the Gilded Age, with 10% of American families holding 76% of the nation’s wealth. This growing financial schism has grave implications for our country’s overall economic health and social cohesion. Join legendary actress and seasoned activist Jane Fonda and Saru Jayaraman, an author and advocate for low-wage restaurant workers, to discuss how the growth of the nation's lowest-wage sectors has contributed to economic inequality and how working people, employers, and consumers can work together toward a more prosperous future for everyone.
