Appearances
I'm John Donvan.
This is Open to Debate, and that's the question we're going to argue.
Our debaters, Nick Hanauer, an entrepreneur, an investor, a thinker who made billions under capitalism, and Jason Furman, an economist, a professor, also a thinker,
who helped guide economic decision-making during the Obama administration.
Nick and Jason, welcome to Open to Debate.
Thank you so much.
I want to say now to anybody who is listening, do not assume that you know who is taking which side because you're probably going to be surprised.
Nick Hanauer, Nick Hanauer, you who have done so very well under capitalism.
I have.
You are the one here arguing that capitalism is broken.
The floor is yours, Nick.
to bring us your opening.
Thank you, Nick.
Jason, now it's your turn to convince us capitalism is not, in fact, broken.
Thank you very much, Jason.
So we're going to get to the back and forth in a moment, but before we do, let's share with our audience a little bit more about your journeys to this point and why you're thinking about this question in the way that you do.
Nick, you are, I want to say first, a returning debater to the program, so welcome back.
Thank you.
You advocate for things like raising the minimum wage, taxing the wealthy with your organization, Civic Ventures.
You have a book that's about to be released called Markets Built for Humans, which you co-authored with Eric Beinhacker.
