In this episode of The Indicator from Planet Money, Waylon Wong, Adrian Ma, and Mary Childs discuss three different indicators of the week. Adrian's indicator is a recent Gallup poll showing a decline in favorable views of capitalism among Americans, with a slight increase in favorable views of socialism, particularly among younger Democrats and Republicans. Mary's indicator is the detention of 475 people after an ICE raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia, highlighting the tension between the U.S. government's desire for international investment and its visa policies. Waylon's indicator is $3.3 billion, the size of a deal that makes Lachlan Murdoch the heir to the Murdoch family empire, mirroring the HBO series "Succession."
