Today, Noam Scheiber, the author of “Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class,” explains the economic forces that have left many college grads deeply indebted, underpaid and angry, and also how their unmet expectations are reshaping class politics in America. Guest: Noam Scheiber , a reporter for The New York Times based in the Chicago area who focuses on white-collar workers. Background reading: College graduates feel betrayed, and their anger goes far beyond the recent rise of unemployment and the looming threat of artificial intelligence.
