Predicting Our One Percent Problem in the 18th Century – The Majority Report

Michael Brooks is filling in for Sam Seder on the Majority Report today. In this clip, Luke Mayville discusses how we’ve come to see our class system in the U.S. in recent years and how similar it is to historical views of class.
