Makers v Takers

Most people who work in developed nations know that there’s something badly wrong in their economy even if they can’t fully articulate it. Many people feel they have to work harder and longer just to stand still. There always seems to be an economic headwind that denies fair return on the hours we put in.

So what is this formless force that pushes against us? And why is it such a different story for people who work in the financial industries who after such collective failure in 2008 are once again squeezing Main Street for every penny?

Host, Ross Ashcroft, met up with Author, Rana Foroohar, to discuss.

Renegade Inc. is an independent media platform established in 2006.

We find people who are thinking differently and offer an alternative perspective on business, leadership, economics, education and the arts.

Superb interview. The world needs more of this line of questioning.

I think I recall Ms. Foroohar saying that "we can still make the rules". I don't think so. Not really. It seems clear that our lawmakers in congress represent the interests of the donor class, not their constituents.

I’m an artist (from a middle American red state). I live with a neoclassical economist. Everything y’all said resonates.

This is such a fantastic civilized enlightening interview.
Glad I found your guys's channel for sure.

I love her turns of phrase! "come to Jesus moment", "tie a bow around everything".

It's very simple, the privately owned banks has the right to make the money, create money by typing in some figure onto the lenders account, but the lender can only pay "back" by working, and thus he is in fact a slave for the guy owning the bank.

Please keep talking to us like we are adults

[SH-jgzq]

Wow we are clueless as to what is happening in this country

[YourCapyFrenBigly_DPipes]

Caterpillar had big strikes earlier this year and last year- I forget if they were successful or not. I think at least partially they were.

[kentauree]

You do the work and the banksters get the profit.

[YourCapyFrenBigly_DPipes]

Yes we're so far up the creek now we forgotten what the paddles even look like. Well... is it time to bring out the guillotines now or should we still wait a little bit??

I do not understand why every guest, on every show has written a book.Literally all of them.Who has the money, or the time to buy, or read All of these books?

[rcmrcm]

She sounds like a very different person than in her interviews together with Mark Blythe. The skin of a chameleon is very deceptive

[helenegan]

Question? Why Renegade. This is the name Obama chose for himself. Look up the meaning. Certainly would not be my choice.
