Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Hedrick Smith argues that over the past 40 years, aggressive deregulation, pro-business tax policy and the demise of corporate responsibility have undermined the American dream. Smith discusses what he sees as the growing concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, its implications for the middle class and what it would take to restore shared prosperity in the U.S.

Guests:

Hedrick Smith, author, former reporter and editor for The New York Times and Emmy Award-winning producer and correspondent for PBS "Frontline"
