From “What Next”: How “Tax the Rich” Went Mainstream
The FT News Briefing presents a special episode from Slate's "What Next" podcast. As wealth disparity continues to grow, politicians in New York and California have suggested raising revenue through taxes aimed at their wealthiest residents. But the proposals have set off an upper-class uproar – and now, it’s a stand-off between the country’s billionaires and its most progressive politicos.
Guest: Stephanie Ruhle, anchor of MS NOW’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle.
