A Working (Class) Economy with Kathryn Anne Edwards
Summary
Jon Stewart interviews labor economist Catherine Ann Edwards to discuss how the U.S. economy has systematically favored capital over labor for the past 50 years. They analyze how stagnant wages, eroded worker protections, and complex tax subsidies have created an affordability crisis despite record corporate profits. Edwards argues that current policies fail to address the root cause of wealth inequality, urging a rebalancing of power through stronger labor standards and direct compensation rather than relying on ineffective tax credits.
