Capitalism, Explained

Capitalism is having a moment in our current political discourse. And believe it or not, we haven't always been so quick to openly bash – or defend – it. Noel King, co-host of Vox Media's Today, Explained podcast, and her team have been exploring the forces behind American capitalism in a four-part series called Blame Capitalism. She joins us to unpack how differently both sides of the political aisle are talking about our economic system ahead of the second GOP presidential debate.And in headlines: a New York judge found Donald Trump liable for fraud, the Federal Trade Commission and 17 states sued Amazon, and Airbnb will soon let people book a weekend stay at Shrek’s Swamp in Scotland.Show Notes: Vox: Today, Explained – https://www.vox.com/today-explained-podcast The Yale Law Journal | Lina M.
