Episode 117: The Bezos-Style Greed Is On Fire!; Tunisian Workers Revolt

The rich are living the creed of the 1987 film “Wall Street”: Greed is good! Consider this: 26 billionaires now have a collective wealth of $1.4 trillion—equal to the wealth of the bottom 3.8 billion people on the planet. That’s just a smidgen of the immorality I discuss with Oxfam America’s Paul O’Brien, whose organization has a startling report out called “Public Good or Private Wealth?”. Then, I chat with Hind Cherrouk, regional director for North Africa and the Middle East for the Solidarity Center, about the mass uprisings by workers in Tunisia who are seeking a small raise so they can actually eat. Our Robber Barons of the week are those 26 billionaires spotlighted by Oxfam. Please become a financial supporter of the podcast here so we can continue to bring you unique content .
