The Debt Dialogues is a weekly podcast that aims to educate young people about the welfare state and how it will affect their future. In this episode, I interview McGill University economist William Watson on his book The Inequality Trap. Topics covered include:

• How the focus on income inequality distracts us from dealing with genuine economic challenges
• The deserving and undeserving rich
• Putting CEO pay in context
