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.

  • Show needs a 3rd perspective with practical business experience

    I’ve listened to a dozen episodes or and just finished the latest on private equity and index funds. I found myself repeatedly frustrated by the lack of both knowledge of and perspective on private markets. I am a full time private markets investor- but not one of the “big guys”. There is so much nuance that was missing here and the arguments from the guest, Luigi and Bethany were simplistic and belied a lack of understanding of how private market investing works in practice. The show could use ... more

  • Ableist podcast, unsubscribed

    I liked this podcast until the Covid episode, when I learned that this podcast is ableist. In an over 40 minute long conversation with the author of a whole book about the pandemic, they discuss how trivial Covid is for people who are “healthy and white” and how silly it was for us to go into lockdowns. Not ONCE did they EVEN MENTION Long Covid, which is what most Covid cautious people (whom they call “germophobes”) are actually worried about. They focus almost entirely on death metrics, literal... more
