The Ken Harbaugh Show

Trump Walks into Crisis of his own Making

Episode Description from the Publisher

Ken Harbaugh argues that the American middle class was built not by billionaires but by the labor movement — and that the current Trumpian crisis could be the catalyst for transformative, systemic change. He speaks with Harvard-trained UT Austin bankruptcy law professor Mechele Dickerson, whose New York Times bestselling book The Middle-Class New Deal makes the case for a wholesale reordering of America's economic life.
