Episode Synopsis

Headlines in 2023 play like a Greatest hits collection of the last 50 years; Culture War, Death of the Family Unit, Isolation, Identity Politics. While these are all separate issues plaguing American, Michael Lind makes the case that all these imperiling issues to Democracy are connected by a common thread, Low Wages. Since the early 70's, wages have been lagging behind productivity and GDP growth, and both parties, Red and Blue, can take equal blame in the issue. Somewhere down this financial road, there will be Hell to Pay.
