The Future of Capitalism: Which Way Now?
Here's that in-depth philosophical program you've been waiting for. Tony is truly over the top in his defense of capitalism; Bob brings up the nearly-verboten name of Karl Marx. Tony quotes Lord Byron, and the fireworks begin. Matt, while defending capitalism, says it's time to rewrite the social contract, with certain guarantees of security in terms of health care and welfare, so the rest of the economy can do what it's supposed to.. Bob defends the middle class; Arianna invokes Ayn Rand saying she would disapprove of the Wall Street orgy. Tony and Matt duke it out for awhile, too. It's a heady show and a hell of a topic. This one's worth hearing twice and quoting from.
