How to Restore the Middle Class in America

June 6, 2018  • Economic Opportunities Program & Financial Security Program

In this clip, speakers from the Economic Security Summit describe what it will take to address one of the biggest economic challenges of our time.

The Economic Security Summit is an annual convening of the nation’s top leaders in industry, academia, philanthropy, government, and nonprofit organizations, to explore challenges facing American workers and families in today’s changing economy. Given the intertwined nature of household financial and employment challenges, leaders can no longer be content to focus on partial solutions or explore ideas in siloed discussions. The Summit brings together leaders from across sectors, disciplines, and political leanings to find common ground, make connections, deepen understanding, and explore solutions to the greatest financial and economic challenges facing American households today. The Economic Security Summit is part of Reconnecting Work and Wealth, a joint initiative of the Economic Opportunities Program and the Financial Security Program at the Aspen Institute.

Featured speakers include: Tom Shapiro, Brandeis University; Debra Plousha Moore, Carolinas HealthCare System; Todd Greene, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta; Vishal Jain, Prudential Financial, Inc.; and Aparna Mathur, American Enterprise Institute.
