About this episode

John Hope Bryant discusses the concept of 'good capitalism' and its implications for society and the economy.

John Hope Bryant delivers a solo episode arguing that America is misunderstanding the capitalism vs. socialism/communism debate and should pursue “good capitalism,” which includes transactions where both sides benefit, versus “bad capitalism,” where others pay a price. John frames financial literacy as a civil rights issue, stresses the difference between making money and building wealth, and links credit scores, health outcomes, and community conditions. He also breaks down the difference and the commonalities between capitalism, socialism, and communism and how they all are reflected in the U.S. economy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
