How Much Money Is Enough to Feel Secure in America?

Season 2027 Episode 9031 | 17m 35s

Affordability took centre stage in the U.S. midterms, leaving a divided Congress under pressure to deliver. From salary to inheritance, economic circumstances vary widely, but anxiety cuts across income levels. Mona Chalabi joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss her book “Ten Lives,” wealth inequality, declining upward mobility and why Americans need to talk more openly about class.
