Episode notes
Housing Is A Rigged Market

- He says admitting the market is rigged is essential before crafting remedies that restore true market risk and signals.
When Capitalism Becomes Corporatism
- Beck distinguishes corporatism from capitalism when gains are privatized and losses socialized through government support.
- He warns public-private partnerships that protect large firms amount to fascism and undermine liberty.
Policies To Unrig Housing Markets
