Capitalism For All: Inclusive Economics and the Future-Proofing of America by John Hope Bryant presents a revolutionary framework for rebuilding American prosperity through economic inclusion rather than division. As the founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, America's first non-profit social investment banking organization, and a former vice-chairman of the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, Bryant brings decades of frontline experience empowering underserved communities. This book addresses America's growing economic inequality and social fragmentation by demonstrating how inclusive capitalism – not exclusionary policies – can restore the middle class, revitalize the American Dream, and maintain our position as the world's leading economy.

John Hope Bryant joins Bloomberg Businessweek to discuss how expanding rather than contracting our middle class strengthens national security and economic competitiveness and how inclusive economics positions America as a beacon of opportunity and strengthens our international influence.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is leaving her post as head of the US Justice Department, ending a tumultuous tenure as the nation’s top law enforcement official after some high-profile stumbling blocks in her efforts to carry out President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

In choosing Blanche to serve as acting attorney general, Trump has elevated another one of his former defense lawyers to be the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
Blanche served as Trump’s defense attorney in criminal cases relating to the 2020 election, his handling of classified documents and alleged hush-money payments.

Blanche can serve in the acting role for 210 days under a federal law for filling vacancies while the Senate considers whoever Trump nominates to be confirmed as attorney general.
The president has discussed Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin as a potential replacement for Bondi, according to people familiar with the matter.

Today's show features:
Jeff Mason Bloomberg News Washington and White House Correspondent & Matthew Seligman, Grayhawk Law Founder
Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist and Robert Tipp, PGIM Fixed Income Managing Director, Chief Investment Strategist, and Head of Global Bonds
