Meet The Millionaire Class That Really Runs America

Ed Elson is joined by Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick to unpack their research on the “Everywhere Millionaire”. They explain how pass-through businesses work, why the tax code disproportionately benefits their owners, and how policymakers could close some of these loopholes. They also explore how AI is changing entrepreneurship in America and what it all means for the future of the American dream. Owen Zidar is a Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. Eric Zwick is the Joel F. Gemunder Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Their book, The Everywhere Millionaire: Who Is Really Rich in America and How They Got There, is available now.
