We welcome acclaimed political commentator, economist and author Grace Blakeley for a discussion on how late-stage capitalism has gone wrong. In her new book Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom Blakeley takes on the world’s most powerful corporations by showing how the causes of our modern crises are the intended result of our capitalist system. It’s not broken, it’s working exactly as planned.
From JPMorgan to Boeing, Henry Ford to Richard Nixon, Blakeley highlights where free market ideology has faltered. It is capitalism, rather than populism and authoritarian strongmen, that is responsible for the crisis in democracy we see today. So what can we do to turn the tide and take back control?
