Zephyr Teachout (BA Yale 1993) discusses how to deal with monopoly capital in the 21st century: cartelization, internet dominance and financial curses. Jim Henry moderates.
Zephyr Teachout is an attorney, author, law professor at Fordham University and - remarkably - also a successful though not yet quite winning political candidate. In 2014, she ran for the Democratic Party nomination for governor of New York and lost to incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo, receiving 34% of the primary vote. In 2016, she ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York's 19th congressional district, winning the Democratic primary but then losing to Republican John Faso. In 2018, Teachout ran for New York State attorney general, was endorsed by the New York Times, but lost the Democratic nomination to Letitia James.
