YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLive-streamed on September 23, 2024
Rob Larson, professor of economics at Tacoma Community College, to discuss his recent book Mastering the Universe: The Obscene Wealth of the Ruling Class, What They Do with Their Money, and Why You Should Hate Them Even More.
Professor Rob Larson then joins, first running through the numbers behind the modern era of wealth inequality and the validity of the parallels with the inequalities of the Gilded Age – from the overwhelming wealth of the top 1% to the minimal holdings of the masses – and the overwhelming social isolation of the upper class via class segregation that defines the stratification of these eras. Expanding on this, Professor Larson walks through the disconnect of the ruling class on the level of the interpersonal (with some strong examples from one Elon Musk) and material, diving deep into how both social institutions (e.g., the media) and economic institutions create (and celebrate) isolated worlds for the uber-wealthy, with boundaries explicitly designed avoid undesirables.
