Modern American ideas about rich and poor have a long, varied pedigree. In this lecture (delivered in 2001) Dr. Neidinger traces the evolution of our attitudes towards wealth and poverty from classical times, through a Judeo-Christian filter, into the mix of mercantilism, capitalism and socialism, and finally to the bombast of modern American rhetoric of class warfare.
The Demonization and Sanctification of Wealth and Poverty is a documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 7 minutes.
