    Welcome to Remaking Capitalism, a podcast brought to you by the Harbus. On this show, we'll be asking questions on what it might take to make our market system work for all, not just the privileged few. Markets, when done right, tap into the ingenuity and potential of the human spirit in a way that’s indiscriminate to our differences, no matter what gender, caste or creed we come from.  But that’s not what is happening right now. Median incomes in America, when adjusted for inflation, have remained flat for decades. The sky-rocketing price of private health care has bankrupted families. And our generation is the first that has dimmer economic prospects than our parents’ generation. So where we do go? I'm not sure, but I am sure that there are a lot of people that may have interesting ideas. Join me on this journey of learning and introspection, and reach out at remakingcapitalism@gmail.com if you want to get involved.
