A tall cold drink of capitalism

Writer and commentator John Steele Gordon says capitalism may as the worst form of government ever tried (with the exception of all the others). And it'll have more staying power than a bottle of water.

Historian John Steele Gordon’s latest book is called An Empire of Wealth. He comes from a long line of New Yorkers with ties to Wall Street; both of his grandfathers held seats on the New York Stock Exchange.
