Money is power. You hear it all the time. Those who have wealth have power. And with economic inequality growing in America, is the power imbalance growing with it? How are those with wealth using their power, and is it possible for those on the bottom end of the wealth gap to still gain power?
Those questions were front and center of the latest “Sound of Ideas Community Tour,” which was held at the Cleveland History Center in conjunction with the Cleveland Orchestra’s 2024 Humanities Festival, whose theme this year focused on power.
