Robert Griffiths opens by saying its about time that we give up dreaming the American Dream as it's a myth. Multimillionaires who have made their fortune in a system that is based on exploitation, discrimination and inequality have promoted the American dream.
He says that the wealthiest 1% of the population own 1/3 of the countries wealth and more than 50% of stocks and shares. This makes it one of the most unequal societies on earth.
