In this episode of Ihya502, Hamza Foy sits with Mishkat Suleiman to discuss the book 'Moral Capitalism: Why Fairness Won't Make Us Poor' by Steven Pearlstein. This book is an incredibly easy read for such a complex topic like economics and discusses a number of assumptions made by the general public in the United States about capitalism and our current economic system. We discuss a few of the more interesting and thought-provoking tidbits such as pre-distribution vs. re-distribution, the difference between our modern economy vs older and simpler economies, and the need for more education surrounding economics and macro-level mathematics.
