Last week we began watching Inequality for All on Netflix. This film chronicles the changes of Middle Class income and wealth since the Great Depression. Economies are created by the governments through which they operate and it is important to evaluate how citizen response to capital accumulation and exploitation during the Gilded Age changed the way our economy functioned. On Monday we will finish watching Inequality for All and on Wednesday and Thursday we will be creating a Report Card for the Economy and use it to evaluate the US economy between 1860-1900 and the US economy today.
