We want to talk about private equity, what is it? How does private equity contribute to wealth and income inequality, erode confidence in shared services and institutions, and undermine faith in capitalism and democracy. Has private equity come to Maine? How can Maine protect its people from the worst outcomes?

Special Guests: 

• Brendan Ballou, former federal prosecutor and Special Counsel for Private Equity at the U.S. Department of Justice, author of the book, Plunder: Private Equity's  Plan to Pillage America.
• Others to be announced.
