Free Market or State Intervention? A Debate Inside the Right

Free Market or State Intervention? A Debate Inside the Right

On today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the split within the right wing, where some uber-conservatives, like the Heritage Foundation, have come out in support of government subsidies and state intervention — not the so-called free market. What has caused this huge shift and what does it mean for the left?
