Hello and welcome to the Man Who Broke Capitalism episode of Slate Money, your guide to

the business and finance news of the week and quite possibly of the past 80 years, because

not only am I Felix Amon of Axios on this show, but I am joined as ever by Emily Peck, also

of Axios.

Hello.

We are joined by Elizabeth Spires.

Hi.

And we are joined by David Gellis of The New York Times.

David, welcome.

Thank you so much for having me.

You are here to plug a book and oh my god, like we have so much to talk about in this book,

but first of all, what is the name of the book?

The Man Who Broke Capitalism.

How Jack Welch gutted the heartland and crushed the soul of corporate America and how to undo

his legacy?

Oh my god, gutting and crushing and souls, yeah, you can tell this is going to be a meaty

one.

We're going to talk about exactly that, Jack Welch, his legacy.

We're going to talk about Davos Man, stakeholder capitalism.

We're going to talk about earning, smoothing, we're going to talk about private equity.

We're going to talk about offshoring, outsourcing, financial shenanigans.

It's a meaty, fun episode and it's all coming up on sleight money.
