Susan Mayer, dean and professor, appeared on yesterday’s broadcast of Chicago Tonight (on WTTW Channel 11). As part of a segment on the growing disparity between the rich and the poor, Mayer commented on the effects of actions by Wall Street millionaires.
Mayer was recently quoted in a Newsweek and Slate op-ed—“Rich Men Behaving Badly”—on the effects of Wall Street titans’ actions, such as the recent Bear Stearns meltdown. Mayer pointed out that while poor people selling drugs to suburban teens can cause harm, ruining financial markets can adversely affects thousands of people.
