In The Moment ... The History Of Capitalism With Bhu Srinivasan

Lori Walsh
Bhu Srinivasan

In The Moment ... September 29, 2017 Show 188 Hour 1

If you're looking to make a little money (or a lot of money) in the future, you might do well to study the past. How about 400 years of big ideas and start-ups, for example. Bhu Srinivasan has written a new book. It's called “Americana: A 400-Year History of American Capitalism.” It's a roll through the "Next Big Thing" of the past few centuries. He joins us to talk innovation, the motivation for immigration, and the surprising adaptability of American economic machinery.

Chris is a producer for In the Moment.
