39. Anwar Shaikh on capitalism

Dr. Shaikh draws from his experience of living in cities across the world including Ankara, Washington D.C., Lagos, New York, and many more. Mr. Shaikh received his bachelor's from Princeton and earned his Ph.D. from Columbia, both in economics. He is the author of "Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crises" and "Measuring the Wealth of Nations." He is the author of many journals on topics such as macroeconomics, competition policy, and inequality. Together we discussed the fallacies behind mainstream economic theory, how history and anthropology play a bigger role in economics than we think, and why regulation isn't that useful of a tool for managing the economy.
