Inequality lies at the heart of contemporary American politics—from the dizzying power of corporations and the billionaire class to the racialized and gendered dimensions of wealth and income disparities. Yet the question of economic justice, as well as the struggle to attain it, also has long historical roots. Mark Paul joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss his new book, The Ends of Freedom: Reclaiming America's Lost Promise of Economic Rights, an historical treatment of historical pursuits of economic equality in America spanning centuries.

Mark Paul is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy Rutgers University . He is a political economist working in the areas of inequality and environmental policy.

Studio / Post-Production: David Hebden
