## Resource

Ken Harbaugh argues that the American middle class was built not by billionaires but by the labor movement — and that the current Trumpian crisis could be the catalyst for transformative, systemic change. He speaks with Harvard-trained UT Austin bankruptcy law professor Mechele Dickerson, whose New York Times bestselling book The Middle-Class New Deal makes the case for a wholesale reordering of America's economic life.
