Show Notes

Today on the Briefing we discuss how billionaires are getting richer – and the rest of us are picking up the crumbs.

 

We’re joined by Andrew Leigh, a Labor MP and former economist who explains how and why the rich are getting richer.    He calls for big corporations to give back taxpayer-funded benefits like JobKeeper.

 

Where do you fit in the ever-widening wealth divide?
