Milwaukee-born Jim Chanos, founder and managing partner of New
York-based Kynikos Associates, teaches University of Wisconsin and Yale
business students about corporate fraud. During his life and career, he
has witnessed seismic shifts in economic thinking and the relationship
between labor and capital. Chanos shares his thoughts on the world
emerging from the election of Donald Trump and the tumultuous political
events of 2016.
Lynn Parramore: Leading up to the
election of Trump, we had eight years of Obama, and before that, eight
years of Bush. Before we get to the president-elect, how do you assess
the records of those past presidents in terms of basic policing of
markets and corporate fraud?
