This episode tackles a huge question: Will the US become a market socialist nation? We analyze the severe economic and social pressures—from "skyrocketing" inequality to the "care crisis"—that suggest a major change is coming. But then we reveal the other side of the story: the deep-rooted cultural, religious, and legal structures that are uniquely designed to resist a socialist transition. Find out why stakeholder capitalism, employee stock plans (ESOPs), and social-democratic reforms are the system's preferred "off-ramps," and why America's future is one of adaptation, not revolution.
