Whether its lower, middle, working, or owning... Americans are defined by their class. The class we grew up in defines certain characteristics of ourselves? our values and our principles. Yet author Betsy Leondar-Wright says that when it comes to social change, we tend not to gather by class as we would by race, gender or religion and that better grouping within and between economic classes could further political change. Today on the Exchange we look at class in America, how we define it, our politics around it, and the difficulties of jumping from one class to another. Jon's guest is Betsy Leondar-Wright, author of "Class Matters."
