Freeland: The biggest challenge right now in the United States and in the world is plutocracy versus democracy.

๐ŸŽค Whisper Transcript (en) โฑ 55s

"What you were writing about back then was this concept, and I'll have you articulate it because I won't do it as well as you do, but this concept of how the super rich have more to do with each other than they have to do with any of us. So we shouldn't be surprised if they're not acting in our best interests. Yeah, I mean, what I identified, Ali, was that capital and capitalism has become global, while democracy is national. And so inevitably, and like I really, I think it's important to look at it as a system rather than as people, because what we're seeing is a system that privileges and kind of builds on supporting a plutocracy rather than what works for regular people. And I think the biggest challenge right now in the United States and in the world is plutocracy versus democracy."
