Why Congress Protects Car Dealers More Than Elon Musk - ft. Eric Zwick
Summary
Hosts Bethany McLean and Lucia Zingales discuss Eric Zwieg’s book, The Everywhere Millionaire, which argues that America’s wealth is concentrated among "Main Street" business owners rather than just billionaires. The conversation explores how private equity and tax loopholes have empowered this class, while also critiquing antitrust failures in sectors like auto dealerships and healthcare. Zwieg proposes policy reforms including harmonized income taxes and stricter local market power regulations to address inequality.
