Sharma contrasts histories of India's and America's approaches to capitalism, emphasizing how economic discipline might be more crucial than democracy. He highlights the growing wealth gap in the U.S. and critiques bailouts that favor the few, urging a debate on whether to let the market self-correct or maintain safety nets for failing institutions.
