Elites and the Decline of Middle Class | Victor Davis Hanson | #CLIP

Historian Victorian Davis Hanson speaks about the self-aggrandizement of elites who equate their wealth for wisdom. He argues this social divide has lead to the decline of the middle class exacerbated by increasing student debt, falling fertility rates, scarce home ownership and a prolonged adolescent state where citizens have become dependent on the government.
