Episode 15: Resource Generation

On episode 15 of the Top Rank Podcast, “Resource Generation” co-hosts Isabel Flower and Marcel Rosa-Salas spoke with Holly Fetter and Dominique Tan, representatives from the nonprofit organization Resource Generation. For two decades, Resource Generation has been advising and enabling young people with wealth and class privilege in the United States to work towards the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power. In the U.S. today, the top one percent of households own more wealth than the bottom ninety percent combined. On this episode, we spoke with Holly and Dominique about scrutinizing the idea of meritocracy, constructing comprehensible and productive definitions of wealth and class (and how these categories intersect and overlap with varying identity categories), as well as RG’s strategies for action.
