Ep. 3 - Lifes Rich Pageant: Could Bernie Sanders Have Won Against Trump?

Liberally Correct

In the third episode of Liberally Correct, Eric Mack and Brett Madsen get into the finer details of Bernie Sanders' proposed revolution and whether people actually want what he was proposing. Brett contrasts his recent year in China with some of the goals of the Sanders campaign. They then examine income and wealth inequality and discuss the historical role that the industrial revolution played in the writing of The Communist Manifesto. They also wonder how much the current economic anxiety has to do with the digital/information revolution and whether the current income and wealth inequality will even out over time, as it did after the industrial revolution ended. Eric and Brett then list several things we need to do to have a better democracy. And finally, they ask the question, "Would Bernie have won against Trump?"
