A Parade of Dwarves: Democratizing Wealth for a New Economy - Gar Alpervoitz and Ted Howard | Bioneers Radio Series XIII (2013)

Summary: How extreme is wealth disparity in the US? Imagine every person in the economy walks by, in order of income from low to high, with heights proportional to what people make. You’d see mostly a parade of dwarves, with some unbelievable giants at the very end. Political economist and historian Gar Alperovitz and social entrepreneur Ted Howard of the Democracy Collaborative depict breakthrough models for breaking this vicious cycle by democratizing wealth, ownership and access to capital.
