Business overtook government. Now what? The future of capitalism isn’t left or right — it’s forward. In Capital Evolution: The New American Economy, Seth Levine and Elizabeth MacBride deliver a bold and timely reassessment of capitalism in America. Drawing on decades of experience in finance, journalism, and policy, Levine and MacBride argue that capitalism isn’t the problem — it’s the outdated neoliberal version we’ve been practicing that’s failing us. From the rise of populism to the growing disillusionment among younger generations, the signs of strain are everywhere. But Levine and MacBride reveal how a new consensus — what they call Dynamic Capitalism — is already taking shape, one that balances profit with purpose, empowers the middle class, and addresses the urgent challenges of inequality and climate change.

A longtime venture capitalist, Seth Levine works with venture funds and companies around the globe. His day job is as a partner at Foundry, a venture-capital firm based in Boulder, CO, which he cofounded in 2006, with nearly $4 billion in assets under management. Elizabeth MacBride is a journalist, author, and consultant in finance, women’s rights, and technology. She is an advocate for a fair, accessible financial system and policies that support women's economic power. Levine and MacBride will be in conversation with the Washington Post’s Lori Montgomery.
