The Everywhere Millionaire: Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick on Who the Rich Are
Owen Zidar, professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton, and Eric Zwick, Joel F. Gemunder Professor of Economics and Finance at Chicago Booth, discuss their new book The Everywhere Millionaire. Drawing on a decade of research with administrative tax data, they show how private business ownership drives top incomes and consider what that means for taxes, inequality and economic opportunity. Jason Furman moderates.
