Realigning Incentives in American Politics

The speaker, Andrew Yang, highlights that American politics suffer from poor incentives stemming from a design flaw, fixable at a significantly lower cost than the resources major parties invest in presidential cycles. By realigning these incentives, significant problems can be solved. Yang underlines the importance of acknowledging the flaws in the system before proposing solutions. He uses statistics, like the low approval rating of the US Congress, to emphasize the pressing need for change.
