GRITtv: Raj Patel: What Do We Really Value?

Raj Patel has spent a lot of time studying the way resources are distributed among people, and he's watched spiraling inequality leave many people with nothing while concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. From the food system, which he studied in Stuffed and Starved, to the bank bonuses still being handed out, he argues that something has to change. In his new book, "The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy," Patel lays out some solutions. He joins Laura in studio to talk about consumerism, labor, violence against women, and the way we need to think about happiness.
