Oscar Meyer was Chuck Collins’ great grandfather. At age 26, he turned aside his inherited fortune. Why would anybody do that? His new book is called Born on Third Base; A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality, Bringing Wealth Home, and Committing to the Common Good. Collins argues a class war is avoidable, and that charity is not substitute for justice, charity does not solve poverty. Collins outlines ways rich people can get out of their isolation and become part of a community, making democracy more genuine.
