	Description:		Chamath Palihapitiya, investor and CEO of Social Capital, joins Azeem Azhar to explore the dysfunctional relationship between capital and companies, why SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) are such a necessary innovation, and why he’s pivoted his own firm to focus on hard, important issues like climate change and health. They also discuss: How SPACs can open up the investing ecosystem for everyday retail investors. What tech regulators should learn from GDPR and how well-intentioned regulation can go wrong. How aggressive taxation of Big Tech could redirect capital to startups.
