Summary

Host Reed Galen is joined by author and Yale Law Professor, Daniel Markovits. They discuss how America’s elite has weaponized education, credentials, and “playing by the rules” to concentrate privilege, eliminate upward mobility, and quietly dismantle the middle class. Plus, what it will take to restore economic fairness and revive democratic faith in a post-growth world.
