This episode covers Market Basket workers’ recent victory, top-paid asset managers, Chipotle’s gross inequality, Montreal corruption and the Russia/China economic alliance. We also continue the discussion on socialism’s new directions, and we respond to listeners’ questions on franchising, capitalist growth, advertising and consumer desires.
