Peter Georgescu Calls For Change In Capitalists, Arise!

Season 24 Episode 38 | 56m 46sVideo has Closed Captions

A new book asks, can we reclaim capitalism as a means of creating wealth and prosperity?

Peter Georgescu arrived in America as a penniless Romanian teenage refugee and rose to prominence as the CEO of Young & Rubicam, a global marketing and advertising agency. It's an American Dream success story — one that Georgescu believes would not occur in today's economic environment characterized by disappearing jobs, flat wages, and a shrinking middle class.
