Americans have seen Washington come to the rescue of the wealthy and well-connected time and again. Subsidies, tax loopholes, regulatory privileges, and "protections" have spawned outrage from individuals across the political spectrum, and gave rise to both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements.
At every level of government, politically-connected insiders have been given special favors, leaving both consumers and the future of free-markets in jeopardy. But where do the greatest threats to capitalism come from? How did we get to our current situation, and what can be done about it?
Join Elliot Fox (Outreach Coordinator, Charles Koch Institute) in a lively and interactive conversation with Christopher Koopman (Research Fellow, Mercatus Center at George Mason University) to answer these and other questions.
