Interview with Chris Hughes about his book Marketcrafters: The 100-Year Struggle to Shape the American Economy. Discusses the government’s historical role in marketcrafting to rebalance economic power and create fairer and more efficient markets; how to stop marketcrafting from becoming a victim of the political process; how it is operationalized differently in times of normalcy versus times of crisis; how it must navigate the limits of individual and institutional power; and whether it is possible to craft markets in advance or only to correct market flaws after a crisis, using Facebook as a case study.
