Stock Market Record: Wall Street Celebrates, Workers Suffer

The Socialist Program with Brian Becker

On today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss The Dow Jones stock index closed above 40,000 for the first time in its history last Friday. Wall Street uncorked the champagne to celebrate this milestone, but working people are totally left out of the stock market boom.
