Ep15 -- Fair Warning

Ep15 -- Fair Warning

This episode explores the effects on the ground (and in the air) of extreme inequality.  It turns out, addressing extreme inequality can improve life satisfaction for everyone, even those currently at the top.  And while we've been told over and over again that we're living in a society with historical levels of inequality, what does that actually mean and how does it impact our daily lives?

This episode is NOT sponsored by Nestlé, which only adds sugar to its best-selling baby formula and cereal in select markets.  See if you can guess which ones.
