"We should have protected people not companies. " That should go on America's tombstone

Wow! What a closing remark - "that capitalism doesn't work unless it rests on a groundswell of empathy". The most succinct, accurate and insightful explanation of how our country has gone so, so wrong that i've ever heard. Bravo, Sir!

He’s 100% on spot. One of the many reasons why I supported Bernie Sanders. But I also know it’s the reason why they were never going to allow him to win.

The stock market is a measure of how well the wealthy are doing, not how well the economy is doing. 💡💡💡

Essential workers should be valued workers, not serfs, owned by their employer.

Scott Galloway, A man of wisdom, foresight, and courage!

Probably one of the most humane capitalists I have ever listened to.

I think it was Rober Reich who said Bezos could give every one of his employees $105,000 and still be just as rich as he was before the pandemic.

This is utterly confusing and bizarre. Save the corporations and let the people starve. If the evidence would not be so overwhelming i'd say your mad.

I agree to break up these monopolies to save the United States. This would be the best for our future.

That was eye-opening, amazing, sad, and hopeful all at the same time... Thank you, Amanpour and Company, for providing great interviews, deep insight, factual information, and all done without drama. Now, let's get to work to make some positive change!

Yep. Helping "most" small business is a waste of money. They don't need money, they need customers. Give the people the help and they get their customers back.

I agree - we absolutely need to break up these big monopolies. Capitalism needs serious oversight and regulation if it is to serve the interests of the people - not just the top percent.

One of the most cleared eye interviews about where we find ourselves and where we are likely to go. Galloway hits the nail squarely on the head. Well done professor and I hope you’ll continue to find avenues to speak clearly about capitalism.

Many persons know about the solutions to the problems except the politicians.

Idk who decided corporations were people...im pretty sure it wasn't the middle class or the poor..so the rich are doing well...thats the problem.

This guy has hit the nail solidly on the head. If we could just drive this nail all the way in, we could be strong, healthy and happy as a country. The Bell system breakup is a perfect example. Let's do this!

"idolatry of innovators". We're sick in the mind.

A copy of Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity" should be required reading to all Corporations, Higher Learning Institutions and Government leaders and Families. Thank you Hari Sreenivasan, and Amanpour and Company for this insightful interview with Scott Galloway; this Vital Interview should be Required Listening also!

“Optimism verging on arrogance”... he got that right.

Prioritizing the equality of knowledge and opportunity would be a good start.

Exactly, in many, many ways!!! So sad ...😔 The PPP loan was not utilized properly by businesses.

Amazon needs regulation. The ingenuity should not come at the cost of their customer.

This issue NEEDS to be aired on all news outlets, on every radio station, in every convosation. Trump and his cronies only care about the people with power staying in power, and for people without money and power to stay powerless. I detest these people. They dont care about average people, they only care about their own interest.

Finally!!!! Someone has the gall to tell it how it is! #PeopleMatter Thank you for interviews that are responsible, fact based, intelligent and meaningful. Keep it up.

Professor Galloway is amazingly knowledgeable, compassionate and wise. This is a beautiful interview and I hope it is shared widely.

Scientific socialism is the answer. We need a government of action comprised of engineers and scientists not lawyers and businessmen.

Keep speaking truth Scott loved your NYU interview!

He is so right; if you aren't near power physically, sitting in your country house, not in your office, you aren't going to advance. Nobody makes it to the C-suite that way. Go ahead and move to Poughkeepsie for a cheap little house, but you are gonna be living there forever. You aren't going to be moving up in the organization if you aren't seeing the CEO, seeing the people in power.

Thank you for exposing the truth and reality of the pandemic.

Boy ! Did I enjoy THAT speech; thanks Scott, I save this page so I can get that book !!

Enjoyed this interview!

Forcing mega companies to pay fair wages would also help to reduce the inequality. Wages have not kept pace with profitability of corporations. Unions used to protect wages and rights of workers, now corporations prohibit workers from forming Unions. It's not a complete answer, but it would be a step in the right direction.

Hopefully we are going to learn from this crisis. Thank you for making sense. Thank you

I pray GEORGIANS VOTE BLUE to flip the Senate and remove obstructionists from strangling our nation with gridlock. We need help now.

How many Trillions of $$$$, went to who??? Who was underfunded?

Brilliant guy. I've got to listen to this twice to really absorb all that he's offering. Great interview.

I wish this was more mainstream

Milton Freidman has alot to answer for regarding goals of Big Companies to benefit shateholders and not the Community. Interesting talk and ideas.

The economy is 70% consumer-driven, by the way. Without enough workers, the people who fuel the economy, we have a collapse of the system.

Balance with Economic expert Professor Dr. Richard Wolff, Democracy at Work.

I like how we call it non-government healthcare even though government subsidies keep this market failure afloat. They tell us it would be scary to put government money into making people healthy but we do it now to make a few people rich.

I have watched over the years how people stopped going to the small local businesses and went instead to the big box stores. 7/11 stores flourished while the little neighborhood stores closed down. Local bookstores closed because Chapters took over. Online shopping takes business away from local businesses. We the people have contributed to this shift and continue to support big businesses through shopping online rather than go out of the house to the store down the street, and were doing this before the pandemic hit. If we had supported small businesses rather than being persuaded by glitzy big business ads we could have saved a lot of the small businesses, but we gave up our power when we chose where to spend our money.

DUH! Just like we should have protected home owners and not the banks during the housing bubble burst.

The politicians (specifically those working against the common good) didn't get the memo on: "protecting the people and not the companies".

when are people going to realize that the Stockmarket is not an indicator of good economy or the quality of life? when are Congressmen and Economists going to realize that many of us cannot afford to be INVESTORS?

Cool! Thank you for having profesor Galloway, always good to have his knowledge and wisdom :)

Thank you for your excellent analysis of our horrible economy.

Amazon...too much money and power in one business. Now, it is entering into filling prescriptions.

Thanks to Amanpour for such profound interview!

I enjoyed this interview. Thanks. Nice to hear a Capitalist talk about empathy for a change.

Bailouts (money mostly generated by taxpayers) should benefit individuals not corporations that pay the least amount of taxes. People over profits. As stated, let the people decide which company they invest in rather than allowing companies to thrive while people die.

Working class individuals have almost always gotten the short end of stick! I appreciate Gallaway’s focus on these individuals and the idea that we need to let the cards fall where they may on companies both small and large. We have only been perpetuating our current focus on the bottom line and the wealthy!

“A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.”

This guy Galloway knows the score!

Very interesting. I’d like to hear more from him

If people audit the airlines and some big business you would see that they were failing before covid19. Congress should have taken care of the small business first....

I agree, the AT&T breakup seems to have worked (albeit painful for the workers of the time), but the breakup attempts of IBM and MS didn't work, right? I was at IBM during the time the government was going after them, and all it did for the workers there was depress wages and create uncertainty. I also think it stifled not only productivity, but creativity as well. Were is this empathy for the workers, when we talk of big government breakups?

Scott is always interesting. I loved his closing statement about Capitalism and empathy. I'll say it again and again, it is why Gordon Gekko and his Satanic 'Greed is good" mantra that infected the ego of Wall Street was the beginning of the end for America. Unless we change that mentality we are completely screwed. Private equity is the Queen Bee of this ecosystem and as long as it stays the same, nothing will change. No current Wall Streeter incorporates empathy into their decision-making process. It is seen as a weakness. Only one thing matters: whether you can get away with it and make money.

Smart fellow... Great information

Exactly. But it was something that experts knew already. Politically, it was harder.

I was a Mr. mom for 15 years in which I founded three kung fu systems, ran a record company and a book publishing company. Unfortunately I didn’t have any funding resources and very little time so none of those ventures got as far as they could’ve if I wasn’t also a Mr. mom, but I was working from home.

I'm listening to this again. This is good.

Scott Galloway knows all the issues.

You finally decided to listen to us AFTER you received the money, which you aren't giving back to protect people right now. Hot air.

Please define "most vulnerable household' means. Protecting those households is fine; however, the government needs to make sure that the people above that level should not slide down to the 'most vulnerable' level.

That was awesome and insightful. Thank you Amanpour for your awesome work.

I REALLY wish we’d go to a single payer system of Health care. I grew up in WA and had many Canadian friends who all appreciated Canada’s Health care system. I’m paying $1,200 a Month for small business health care and I still pay a lot out of pocket @ 10% of treatments, copays, deductible. It’s ridiculous. Talk to anyone that’s been in a Canadian Hospital and they’ll tell you how great their attitudes are and they get great service.

I really think the US needs to start learning from the rest of the world, rather than arrogantly telling everyone else what to do. We Americans are no more human than anyone else in the world... not all of us want or should live the same way.

That was an excellent interview. I learned some important economic principles.

The Egyptian prophecy of Throth "When the business of death is more lucrative than life" This is the most disgusting thing I have seen in my lifetime we are literally dealing with a caste system where the top 10% look down their noses and literally think their right to life supersedes any one who is "poor". And some of these poor are college-educated and not making more than 50,000 a year it's impossible these days to even think about improving life for your family. My salary has not changed since the year 2000. The entitlement is grossly nauseating.

I had an appointment over the phone that left me having to go to a doctor a few days later.

That’s Andrew Yang said. We need UBI ASAP!!!!! everyday people who keep small businesses going. When they got those big stimulus bailout. They don’t even spread them($) out to their employees!!!!!!!that is what happened now!!!

Thanks for turning on the light while there is light

"Idolatry of the innovators", this is the right expression. However, the real innovators, people who actually come up with innovative ideas, get paid off or pushed out within two years of their invention. The corporations just run and get rich by their ability to pay for the innovative capabilities of regular people. People credit the wrong participants in the economy. Most valuable innovations evolve straight from manufacturing floors. When the US allowed the dismantling of manufacturing floors in the US and leave the country, they GAVE the technology lead to countries with cheap labor forces.

Excuse me?!? A massive stimulus although we already had one!?! Canada gave their adult citizens $2,000.00 a month.. each month of their mandatory quarantine! (They immediately dropped the same amount on their elderly, children and homeless that our POtuS dropped on the stock market!) The UK gave their citizens $2,500.00 Australia gave their citizens $3,200.00 Germany just over $4,000.00 Paris, France over $8,900.00 Each Country per month to each adult citizen regardless of whether they were Essential Worker’s or not so that they didn’t have to figure out hazard pay! In The UK... after disinfecting all of their buildings in school buses they decided to keep all of their highschoolers working remotely and stretched out all of the elementary and middle school students across all three buildings so that they could stay safe socially distancing! Doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to handle this it’s quite humiliating to the rest of the world to admit that I was born in this country capitalism our democracy has been dead for centuries! Another thing get rid of the negative label of Medicare for all... call it universal healthcare because it is absolutely disgusting how our taxpayers money funds all the research and development of immunizations and medicine, vaccines and distribution that help’s save countless of lives around the world yet we pay 200% to 2000% more for those same prescriptions etc. A prime example is Remdemisfeir... Google it or ask Siri, find a fifth grader to help you.. the company is out of California our taxpayers money yet we pay over $500 per script when they only pay just over $50 in Germany, $8 dollars in Canada, $6 dollars in Australia, $30 something in the UK.

My husband got bit by a Rattlesnake. He spent a night in the hospital. His bill was $90,000! Just his COVID-19 test was $400. Why? Luckily, he’s 70 years old, so MEDICARE paid a lot of the bill. We still are in the hole for $1,700 ! SAD!

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Outstanding 👍👊

I'm liking this on the title alone.

Absolutely powerful and insightful discussion. Bravo Zulu

He is so right.

What happened to the law against monopolies?

Did he just suggest house calls as a revolutionary innovation in medical practice?

So if work from home is so productive why is Google bringing everyone back to work?

Recognize and fight CLASS WAR!!

COVID19 situation requires action from the high end earners. The way that our Governments can operate (generally speaking), is that promises are made that are often not followed through on, and by the time they get implemented, or even begin to be, the government has changed hands and the present oversight loses focus or has a different agenda. Here in Australia we witnessed a confounding roll-out of the NBN that has literally been like the never ending story. So many companies have made bucket loads of money from it but we still do not have, as yet, what was originally envisaged. I was walking past an open telecommunications hole on the footpath which told the true story. I looked down only to see that the wires and cables were held together with binding twine like you would use in the garden. So where did all the funding for the infrstructure go then? Politicians need to be warned that this current crises has opened the eyes of their constituents in a way as never before. Many issues become, what I call, as being on The Merry Go Round,...here we go again.. And I think to myself, "well, I thought that has already been chewed over, legislated even, and change promised by countless goverments before???"..Things like: health, the climate, homelessness, crime, justice to name only a few. And there is plenty of money being made in every sector but the undergirding societal supports are eroded or absent. As consumers we have been subtely trained to expect less and less from all of our providers, banks, medical industries, hospitals, services, etc. While, due to legislation, subsidies, writeoffs and tax breaks their bottom line has increased exponentially. The mega businesses that have not paid appropriate taxes v's asset need to contribute into the local economies right now, without delay. Each Federal Government's (or equivalent to) taxation departments has the numbers and they need to oversee where the money goes. It is unfortunate that Governments have embraced capitalism to a point that they have not balanced that with true care for their populations. Including the provision of supporting infrastructure around what is considered peoples basic, fundamental, rights. In provision of this employment is generated in the areas as the spin off. But the situation has arisen where people are just seen as consumers and not as the fundamental reason for their existence, and worthy of investment. Protect people instead of creating a poor class who are then maligned and seen as negligent because they are unable to obtain a certain level of lifestyle. COVID is different than what has preceded it. How many people have to die? Life is treated with such disdain. This situation reminds me of the old Peter, Paul and Mary song..Blowing in the wind...are the people just chaff, blowing in the wind then?

We have never needed Single Payer Health Care more than now. Socialized medicine focuses on getting you well and not on how much coverage and insurance you have first. The Health Insurance Industry needs to die now. We need to decouple the health industry from your job. This ends up saving us huge amounts of money and increases our medical outcome successes.

This guy makes a lot of great points.

This guy is actually bright ... we need him in office

Nice one! Socialism is for people. Capitalism is for Companies. May I sum it up like so? I first heard the concept of my workplace is my home around 2005/6 when I formed a relationship as a mother tongue English teacher at a private school in Italy. Mitt Romney took that concept to another level with, corporations are people, too. I didn’t quite believe the former but I could stretch it for Romney’s version. In these times, the former is definitely true; one can certainly choose it to be so, if desired. While the latter is complete and utter bullshit - unless, the theatre is creative writing for whichever medium.... I was surprised to here the DOJ had any role in breaking up monopolies. I imagined that was or would be the Treasury’s role. A lively and insightful piece. Thank you! (...just thinking, it’s funny. I’ve got leisure time as the lucky ones - only the monthly personal welfare checks aka bailout funds I get never quite make it to the end of the month. Easily, it could be burned in a few minutes. As one of my sisters pointed out, I’m absurdly lavish.)

Yesss!

"Resting on a tide pool of empathy." That is excellent advice for capitalism, government, community, family, personal!

This should be a stark and final reminder that the mere theoretical concept of trickle-down economics should be dead and buried once and for all.

Of corporations, by corporations and for corporations!

Wow the prof really tones it down when he is on tv. I like him more in his channel.

When we all sing “How Great Thou Art” we are singing to corporations primarily.

Corporations are not human beings.

Biden should pick this guy as secretary of commerce....

Nice talk. Empathy..... Yeah. Something corporations don't have and yet they get to be people. Hmmm.....
