How the Democrats Have Helped Wall Street, Not the Middle Class

The Leonard Lopate Show | Mar 11, 2016

Despite the fact that Democrats have served in the White House for 16 of the last 24 years, economic inequality is at an all-time high, and the middle class continues to decline. Former Wall Street Journal columnist and author Thomas Frank discusses his latest book Listen, Liberal: Or, Whatever Happened to the Party of the People? which takes a critical look at why the Democratic Party hasn’t done more to advance the values and causes they purportedly stand for, including expanding economic opportunity and fighting for social justice. 

Event: Thomas Frank will discuss his new book and sign copies on March 15th at 7:00 p.m. at Book Culture (450 Columbus Ave.).
