How Special Interests Took Over Our Economy

Steven Teles, associate professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University and Senior Fellow at the Nikansen Center, joins us to discuss The Captured Economy: How the Powerful Enrich Themselves, Slow Down Growth, and Increase Inequality. He and co-author Brink Lindsey look at how wealthy special interests have taken control of the policymaking process and use it to prosper. The two offer solutions for how we can take back this process, and address a stagnating economy and growing income inequality.
