You Can't Have Both Democracy and Capitalism

Description
Are Americans simply frustrated with the economy—or are they beginning to question the economic system itself?
In this segment, we explore the growing debate over capitalism, the rise of democratic socialist candidates, and why Medicare for All has returned to the center of progressive politics. We examine what these trends reveal about workers' frustrations with wages, healthcare, housing, and an economy that many feel no longer works for ordinary people.
As labor organizing continues to grow, we ask the bigger question: Who should have power in the workplace—the people who create the wealth or the people who own it?
