Ep. 37: Inequality and the Middle Class — Political Economy with James Pethokoukis - a podcast by American Enterprise Institute

Anyone following the news knows income inequality is at the front of political debate.

New findings from Pew Research Center show that the middle class has been in steady decline since 1971, and that while median incomes for the middle class have risen 34% since 1970, upper income households have seen a 47% increase. Since 1971, each decade has a decrease in the number of middle-income households, and no one decade signals a rapid decline.
