In A Capitalism for the People, Zingales
makes a forceful, philosophical, and at times personal argument that the
roots of American capitalism are dying, and that the result is a drift
toward the more corrupt systems found throughout Europe and much of the
rest of the world. American capitalism, according to Zingales, grew in a
unique incubator that provided it with a distinct flavor of
competitiveness, a meritocratic nature that fostered trust in markets
and a faith in mobility.
Lately, however, that trust has been eroded by a betrayal of our pro-business elites, whose lobbying has come to dictate the market rather than be subject to it, and this betrayal has taken place with the complicity of our intellectual class.Because of this trend, much of the country is questioning—often with great anger—whether the system that has for so long buoyed their hopes has now betrayed them once and for all. What we are left with is either anti-market pitchfork populism or pro-business technocratic insularity. Neither of these options presents a way to preserve what the author calls the "lighthouse” of American capitalism. Zingales argues that the way forward is pro-market populism, a fostering of truly free and open competition for the good of the people—not for the good of big business.
