Moyers & Company. Plutocracy Rising
Description
The One Percent is not only increasing their share of wealth; they're using it to spread millions among political candidates who serve their interests. In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill is joined by two veteran journalists to discuss how the super-rich have willfully confused their self-interest with America's interest. Guests are Chrystia Freeland, author of Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else, and Rolling Stone magazine's Matt Taibbi, who regularly shines his spotlight on scandals involving big business and government. Following the conversation, Bill looks at the alarming trend of corporate executives who strong-arm their employees to vote as they say.
