#30 INSIDE GOING DIRECT: Capitalism in America vs Europe - Part 1

Jordan sits down with Reiss to discuss capitalism in America vs Europe. This is part 1 of a 2-part conversation. They unpack:


  • Why American capitalism feels more “sociopathic” than Europe’s model
  • How corporate incentives create soulless systems
  • The role of AI and automation in enabling decentralized production
  • Why robotics and industrial policy are key enablers for a decentralized future
  • The tension between “freedom from” (Europe) vs. “freedom to” (America)
  • Will organic (humnans) or inorganic (AI) systems win
