Wednesday’s Historical Perspectives lecture: ‘Triumph Over Plutocracy’

The long-running Historical Perspectives Lecture Series resumes with a talk by a veteran labor journalist at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday (April 16) in the Christie Theatre. Sam Pizzigati will speak about his recent book, The Rich Don’t Always Win: The Forgotten Triumph Over Plutocracy That Created the Middle Class, 1900-1970. Pizzigati takes issue with the notion that protests against wealth inequality in the U.S. will have little effect, and that ultimately the rich “always get their way.” For more on the talk and the lecture series, see our full news release.
