The wealth gap in America - intensified by Covid-19

May 26, 2020

Should we be offended that American billionaires are up $434 Billion dollars since the start of the pandemic? Why are large companies like Amazon, getting wealthier during the pandemic and should we be alarmed by this?

Chris discusses perspectives on capitalism and taxes, and how consumer behaviors impact the ultra-rich. He also explores the "brand" of capitalism is going to emerge from the pandemic, and why business opportunities, the concept of supply versus demand, and competition are essential to keeping the American economy great.

NEXT, Chris addresses the big question “What’s more important: saving lives amidst Covid-19 or allowing the economy to bounce back?” The answer is always messy, but it’s not always one option versus the other.
