YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

By one estimate, China mints a new billionaire every two days, far exceeding the rate of countries like the United States.

Bloomberg QuickTake explains how capitalist compromises and moves begun decades ago have made China the not-quite-Communist country it is today.
