About this episode
Economist Rob Larson discusses the current state of capitalism and wealth concentration under the current administration.
It’s no mystery that the fortunes of the very rich have soared under this administration, but the concentration of wealth in the hands of the very few is a hallmark of capitalism itself. Economist Rob Larson returns to discuss the state of capitalism today, with massive subsidies for the wealthy and a war that’s starting to send shock waves across the world.
