The Last Gasp of Late-Stage Capitalism: An Integral Look at the Republican Tax Plan

Jeff Salzman   December 6, 2017  
The rise of capitalism, starting a couple hundred years ago, has been a spectacularly positive development for humanity, creating enormous material weath that raised billions of people out of poverty.

Jeff and Corey discuss the ramifications.
