First hour: Discussing capitalism
Second hour: What does the legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada mean for Americans at the border?
According to recent polls, less than half of young Americans – 45 percent – view capitalism positively. Researchers at Gallup say that represents a 12-point decline in young adults’ positive views of capitalism in the last two years, and a 23-point decline from 2010. The data shows more adults aged 18 to 29 prefer socialism. We recently heard from socialists on this program, and now we’re giving capitalists the floor. They join us to share their views on the merits of capitalism and the future of the economy. Our guests:
- Alan Ziegler, president of the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation
- Rama Yelkur, dean and professor of marketing in the School of Business at St. John Fisher College
- Andrew Brady, co-founder of the Rochester chapter of Conscious Capitalism, and board member for the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation
Then in our second hour, Canada is about to make recreational marijuana legal. What does that mean for people who go to Canada and come back to the U.S.? What does it mean for workers who come to the U.S. in the medical marijuana industry? We discuss what you need to know for the next time you cross the border. Our guests:
- Danielle Rizzo, senior counsel with Harris Beach
- Jeremy Unruh, director of regulatory affairs for Pharma Cann, LLC
