Why high earners should care about inequality
Manage episode 375657461 series 3358108
Jess Miles speaks with Gerry Mitchell and Marcos González Hernando, authors of ‘Uncomfortably off: Why the top 10% of earners should care about inequality’.
Wealth no longer guarantees security. Gerry and Marcos explain why it's time for higher earners to reset their attitudes towards the lives of others and reexamine their relationship with the private sector, public services and the state.
They explore who the top 10% of earners are, why we should care about this relatively affluent group when there are so many people less well off, and deconstruct the beliefs they hold that prevent them from seeing the benefits of more equality.
