"A Capitalism for the People: Recapturing the Lost Genius of American Prosperity"

Luigi Zingales

About the Program

Italian-born economist Luigi Zingales warns that the U.S. economy is becoming a system of crony capitalism in which government support for big business has overwhelmed the support for a free market, an outcome, he argues, that mirrors Italy under the leadership of Silvio Berlusconi.  Hosted by the Manhattan Institute in New York City.
