  • The Crisis of Capitalism as spoken here is the exposure of Crony Capitalism involving Government selecting favorites and backing them with easy capital! This ultimately leads to Central Government Control of Markets and People. There is very little Crisis of Free Market Capitalism if Government controls are rather mute and on the sidelines with moderate rule of law and fair regulations!
