Customer Reviews
Great series
Compelling and timely. Fair and articulate. Great work.
What a dishonest statement about capitalism.
What a complete dishonest statement by the guest about capitalism. Saying that it is based on racism is complete lie. What about other countries around the world that has nothing to do with American racism. Capitalism has equalized a lot of people out of poverty around the world. Americans are so stupid, scandinavian countries are capitalist country. The show should get a smarter guest. Even the so called communist and socialist country have embraced capitalism.
