Episode 4: Cue Banks - Navigating the American Economy

The wealth gap in America is bigger than ever, but what does wealth inequality really mean? The richest 1% of America now owns more of the country's wealth than at any other time in the past 50 years. 3% of the population accumulates for 97% of our economy's wealth, with skyrocketing inequality. While many of us are not aware, socioeconomic factors plague our economy causing the rich to get richer, and the poor to get poorer. According to the NY Times, the number of Americans living in poverty increased 15 percent, while the wealthiest percent increased their share by 10 percent.There are many unprecedented factors that cause the wealth gap in America, but why is it that there is such a big gap in our social construct? Is it the inability to navigate our economy? Our guest for today is a prime example of beating all odds.
