30 Issues | A Brief History of the 'Rigged' Economy


The idea that the economy is rigged to benefit the rich didn't start with the Occupy Wall Street protests or Elizabeth Warren. Jacob Hacker, director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University, is the author of American Amnesia: How the War on Government Led Us to Forget What Made America Prosper (Simon & Schuster, 2016) and Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer — and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class (Simon & Schuster, 2011), looks at the history of the role of politics in the so-called rigged economy.
