About this episode

This episode discusses the transformation of Boeing from a respected engineering firm to a company focused on stock value, leading to the tragic crashes of the 737-MAX.

Boeing used to be one of the most respected engineering firms in the world. Then it changed its focus from making great airplanes to increasing its stock value.
