Wall Street

15 years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Wall Street is as predatory as ever. But a more democratic economy could be rising all around us.

Their bipartisan plan is a step forward, but regulators already have the power to crack down on Wall Street's reckless bonus culture.

Last year’s Wall Street bonus pool was large enough to raise New York City’s minimum wage to $21.25 — with $24 billion left over.

Since 2008, growth in the average Wall Street bonus has far outstripped wage growth for ordinary U.S. workers.
