They captioned the video with a quote from him early in the conversation:

We Have Capitalism for the Poor and Socialism for the Rich" - Mark Blyth

Yeah, no kidding. Privatize gains, socialize losses, rinse and repeat.

Marks 'How We Got Here and Why' is a great lead in for this conversation but for anyone already familiar with him - more gold.

I'm starting realize, I might have to post his articles since as I figured it would just be us chatting a bit on it (there's something about Youtube thumbnails I've noticed that makes content unapproachable). Seems quite a few more people read the John Gray article and even that was a bit lengthy.
