This edition of the TRANSFORM Podcast is Part One of our exploration of  modern American capitalism. Our current economic model serves a small group of people at the expense of the economic security of the vast majority of Americans. Why is that true and how can we change it? Our podcast presents a rundown of how the United States has historically attempted to balance public and private interests, and how we have arrived in our current moment of wealth inequality and rampant economic injustice.
