Before the lecture, Professor Blum asked us to tweet an interesting fact about income inequality. The resemblance between our economic situation beginning in 2008 and the economic depression during the Great Depression is uncanny. During the 2008 recession, large influxes of people became unemployed and were forced to move out of the state of California to find better jobs. Migrating families became popular, very much like the start of the Great Depression.
