Former Reagan Budget Director, David Stockman on the Corruption of Capitalism in America

January 4, 2014



david-a-stockmanSaturday’s guest is former President Ronald Reagan’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget. He has recently published a book entitled The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America.

“The Fed shouldn’t be creating bubbles…they can’t do the job. They’re failing.”

He says, “Twelve people on the Open Market Committee are the monetary politburo for the western world.”
