Episode notes

In the long run, there's far fewer of those who are struggling along and hold them up as typical. But we're probably always going to have some raceism because people make judgments about other people that are different. America is less races to day than it was 50 years ago. And i would argue, in fact, that probably every generation is a little bit less races than the generation that came behind it.

John Mackey says the treatment for the cancer of crony capitalism is conscious capitalism, grounded “in an ethical system based on value creation for all stakeholders,” which includes not just owners, but employees, customers, the community, the environment, and even competitors, activists, critics, unions, and the media. Mackey cites Google and Southwest Airlines as role models, and pharmaceutical companies and financial corporations as anti-role models. In a surprise pivot, Mackey lays the blame for the myth of the profit motive as the only measure of value at the feet of capitalists themselves. Mackey’s goal is to write a new narrative for capitalism that asks us to care about customers and human beings instead of data points on a spreadsheet.
