Description

Episode Details:

Capitalism is under pressure and everyday people can feel it.

Rising prices from tariffs, fights over healthcare, shrinking trust in institutions and the rapid advance of AI have people questioning whether the system still works for them.

In this conversation, Monique Mills sits down with Douglas Stevens, professor of accountancy at Georgia State University and author of In Search of a Moral Foundation for Capitalism.

Together they unpack how economic theory narrowed into the “greedy, lazy” view of human behavior and what past thinkers can teach us about rebuilding a moral foundation for modern capitalism.
