The takeaway concept of Occupy Wall Street—the 1 percent versus the 99—continues to shape our perception of modern American society. Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel appeared on MSNBC’s All in With Chris Hayes, alongside radio host Sam Seder, to talk about the rising populist backlash against income inequality and the dissociation of 1 percenters from this vital conversation.
