Novara FM: How BlackRock and Global Finance Stole Your Future w/ Michael A. McCarthy

Got a pension? Or a savings account? Arguably, its purpose is to align your interests with the interests of capitalism: when the market goes up, you benefit too.

McCarthy is the author of The Master’s Tools: How Finance Wrecked Democracy (And a Radical Plan to Rebuild It). He spoke to Eleanor Penny about how we take back control of what is already ours.
