Yale Fox: Home renters are powerless. Here's how to fix that

Income inequality is the highest it's been in nearly a century. Wage declines are making home ownership more and more difficult, leading people to become renters.

TED-Ed: How do we create a better economy?

Can we call any economy "healthy" in the face of dwindling resources and growing inequality? What if we cut off our addiction to endless growth, and used a new compass for modern prosperity?
