  • Two years ago on Today Explained from Vox,

  • we ran a series on Americans' deep and growing frustration with capitalism.

  • Everything comes with a price, even peace of mind.

  • We wrestled with this longstanding idea that there is no alternative to capitalism,

  • where many people still land.

  • But recently, a leader has come along and he has begun to question our system.

  • such as raiding companies based on how loyal they are to his big,

  • beautiful bill, or talking about taking a 10% share in Intel.

  • Everything's computer.

  • Or pressuring Coke to change its formula,

  • even though people like current Coke and happily pay green American dollars for it.

  • Coming up, are we even still capitalist?

  • That's putting AI agents to work for people.

  • It's your turn.
