Why did the American middle class boom after WWII, and how do we get it booming again? New York Times economics reporter Jim Tankersley joins Paul to lay out the thesis of his new book, ‘The Riches of This Land’—that the economy will thrive when everyone can fully participate in it.  Jim Tankersley covers economic and tax policy for The New York Times. Over more than a decade covering politics and economics in Washington, he has written extensively about the stagnation of the American middle class and the decline of economic opportunity in wide swaths of the country.  Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/jimtankersley?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@jimtankersley</a> Show us some love by leaving a rating or a review! <a href="https://ratethispodcast.com/pitchforkeconomics">RateThisPodcast.com/pitchforkeconomics</a>  The Riches of This Land: <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781541767836">https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781541767836</a> Website: <a href="http://pitchforkeconomics.com/">http://pitchforkeconomics.com/</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/PitchforkEcon">@PitchforkEcon</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pitchforkeconomics/?hl=en">@pitchforkeconomics</a>Nick’s twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/nickhanauer?lang=en">@NickHanauer</a>
