SCOTONOMICS Ep: 100. Vulture Capitalism with Grace Blakeley

Everything you know about capitalism is wrong, although if you have been watching our episodes for a while, you will likely be aware of that fact!
Free markets aren't really free. Record corporate pro­fits don't trickle down to everyone else. And we aren't empowered to make our own choices - they're made for us every day.
In Vulture Capitalism, acclaimed journalist Grace Blakeley takes on the world's most powerful corporations by showing how the causes of our modern crisis are the intended result of our capitalist system. It's not broken, it's working exactly as planned. From JPMorgan to Boeing, Henry Ford to Richard Nixon, Blakeley shows us exactly where late-stage capitalism has gone wrong.
Searing, explosive and timely, Vulture Capitalism is the book you need to understand what is happening in the world around you - and what you can do to change it.

Grace is amazing. Thank you for this.

[@scotonomics1]

We agree!

With regard to Boeing, don't forget about the two whistleblowers who "committed suicide".

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

Hold on, this is odd. I thought you were an MMT based economic group and channel? Grace has publicly stated disparaging remarks about MMT, and to my knowledge has not taken back said disparaging remarks. Has she taken back her condemning remarks of MMT?

[@scotonomics1]

We LOVE Grace and agree with probably more than 99% of her views and opinions. That is more than good enough for us.

Lady interviewer, at least know where and what your guest studied. Shows you're a tad interested in what they do, and that you're at least a little prepared.
