Nick Hanauer, billionaire, launches new channel to address income inequality - "Class Traitor"
Hanauer was one of the first investors in Amazon, and many other successful tech companies. He has been campaigning to other billionaires for over a decade that gross inequality is wrecking the world.
In 2014, he issued a widely-read opinion piece, "The Pitchforks are Coming", warning that billionaires need to act against growing inequality. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014/
In his newest effort "Class Traitor", he explains why Neoliberal Economics is a bad basis for economic policy, and what we need to do to save the world. He's a good follow.
