The Weekly Stewart This Week
On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, his guest is labor economist Kathryn Ann Edwards. As the show writes, “As the cost of living keeps rising while Americans’ paychecks fail to keep pace, Jon is joined by Kathryn Anne Edwards to break down where our economy went so wrong for so many years. Together, they explore how decades of policy choices and corporate practices have weakened workers’ leverage and channeled gains toward those at the top—and lay out a vision for how to rebalance the economy so that workers share more fairly in the prosperity they help create. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about impeaching Trump, the White House Press Secretary, and Daylight Savings Time!”
By the way, the podcast always begins with a clip from the show that leaps out for some reason, often because it’s funny, periodically because it’s really insightful. If you don’t want to watch the full video – or any of it – at least watch the 90-second clip at the very beginning. It is really insightful – and there’s even a touch of humor in it. But mainly…man, is it ever insightful.
