Ruchir Sharma, author of What Went Wrong with Capitalism, joins The Realignment. In this episode, Ruchir argues that many of America's ills and the populace's rejection of the status quo stems from too little, as opposed to too much market-focused thought, offers a revisionist history of the post-1980s Neoliberal era, makes the case against the rising rate of government bailouts of private industry, and instead offers a vision focused on reducing debt, increasing productivity, and growth-focused deregulation.
