How To Fight Against Vulture Capitalism

Grace Blakeley

Economist, journalist, and author Grace Blakeley talks corporate power, late-stage capitalism, and how we fight back.

Free markets aren’t really free. Corporate profits don’t trickle down. Our choices aren’t our own. Economist and journalist Grace Blakeley joins us to dismantle the myths of capitalism, revealing how global corporations and financial institutions have shaped a system designed to benefit the few at the expense of the many.

From JPMorgan to Boeing, from Nixon to Ford, she traces the roots of our modern crisis, arguing that capitalism isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as intended. Join Grace as she unpacks the forces driving inequality, the exploitation baked into the system, and how we can fight back.
