I'm glad that he mentioned Neoliberalism as introduced by Reagan & Thatcher with shareholder primacy being one of it's major goals, which necessitates the regulatory capture of government regulators that was plainly obvious in 2008 when the banks collapsed - SEC & rating agencies all protected by those in the DUJ who all arrived there through a revolving door & thanks to Obama nobody went to jail except for a few of the lower orders including Bernie Madoff who made the mistake of robbing the rich - kind of a precedent in a if you are big enough you are above the law sort of a way & it's also noticeable that banks & other corporations were bailed again as Covid got going.
