When GameStop shares skyrocketed earlier this year, numerous pundits were quick to ascribe political significance to the whole thing. Was it a rebellion? Was it class warfare in the spirit of Occupy Wall Street?

We also talked about algorithmic trading, WallStreetBets, the pandemic, and what's next for the future of capitalism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
