The Education Myth – How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy (Hour 2)
UW-GB Professor, Jon Shelton, joins to discuss his new book, "The Education Myth -How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy." In it, he argues that American politicians have overemphasized education as a magical solution to economic inequality at the expense of other badly needed reforms like making labor organizing easier, the right to a job, and universal healthcare.
Then we talk to Colleen McCarthy, VP of Versiti Organ and Tissue Donation, about what you should know about organ donation. Join The Registry to Be An Organ & Tissue Donor.
