MeidasTouch founder Ben Meiselas is joined by Brian Tyler Cohen, author of the new book The Day After, for a conversation about the growing disconnect between Donald Trump’s claims about the economy and the reality facing millions of Americans. They discuss how MeidasTouch and other independent media outlets are exposing the real economic data and the everyday struggles of working families, while arguing that Trump’s economic policies have primarily benefited his wealthy allies as many Americans increasingly feel they are living through recession-like or even depression-like conditions.
