According to investor Ruchir Sharma, author of What Went Wrong With Capitalism,* *the United States has gone on a decades-long debt binge, with too many regulations and a culture of bailouts, which he says has weakened dynamism in the economy—and capitalism itself. Sharma joins FP Live to discuss potential solutions and lessons from around the world.
