When do massive budget deficits become a breaking point? Nicolai Tangen sits down with renowned economist Ruchir Sharma to discuss how unprecedented government spending and the "bailout culture" are undermining capitalism. Drawing from his new book, Sharma explains why running 6-7% budget deficits during full employment is unsustainable and offers practical solutions to put capitalism back on track.
