The Interview

US Economist Luigi Zingales

American capitalism is in crisis - that's the view of Professor Luigi Zingales. He blames the links between big government and big business.

That's the way he says that capitalism can "rediscover and renew its moral foundation". So can it really be the answer to tackling inequality and mending the American dream?
