Capitalisn't

by University of Chicago Podcast Network
14

Is capitalism the engine of destruction or the engine of prosperity? On this podcast we talk about the ways capitalism is—or more often isn’t—working in our world today. Hosted by Vanity Fair contributing editor, Bethany McLean and world renowned economics professor Luigi Zingales, we explain how capitalism can go wrong, and what we can do to fix it.Cover photo attributions: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/research/stigler/about/capitalisnt.
