Capitalism and Its Failures

By Yuval Levin

October 12, 2020

Is capitalism working? How is it supposed to work? And what do we do if it fails?

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis these questions were more relevant than ever. Now, in the midst of economic turmoil and uncertainty brought on by COVID-19, they are questions once again on everyone’s mind.

To help consider these old questions in a new context, Yuval Levin joins us to revisit his 2010 Bradley Lecture, “Recovering the Case for Capitalism.”

This speech was originally delivered in 2010.
