Thirty years ago, “greed is good” and “maximizing shareholder value” became the new mantras woven into the fabric of our business culture, economy, and politics. Although, around the world, free-market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the US, most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10 percent, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch. As a result, Americans are losing faith that a free-market economy is the best system.

Competent but simplistic and full of holes
Revisado: 12-04-19
This is a good read for someone who has recently come to question the inevitability and primacy of capitalism. Frustrating read if you’re looking for something substantial. Full of holes, like: neglecting to mention the global toll of capitalism, extolling Amazon (the company) without mentioning their aggressive lobbying or labor practices, etc.
Not a deep dive by any stretch, but okay as a means of starting conversation.
