I call shennanigans on AOC.
As a member of the majority in the US House of Representatives, AOC could ask the Dems to start holding public hearings to investigate why the price of housing, education, and medicine have been rising faster than the rate of inflation for decades. She has not chosen to do so, or, Nancy Pelosi has not allowed her to.
If there was true competitive free market capitalism, more homes would be under construction to meet demand. NIMBY's, conservationists (snobs), and government zoning restrictions restrict supply by preventing construction.
If there was true competitive free market capitalism, college tuition would be lower because high tutions would not be subsidized by Federally guaranteed student loans.
If there was true competitive free market capitalism, prescription drug prcices would be lower due to multiple suppliers competing for business.
"Capitalism" is failing because government prevents development, subsidizes high prices, and our corrupt insider-trading Government offiicials have allowed and benefitted from our economy being dominated by unfair foreign competitors, monopolies, dualopolies, oligarchies, cartels, collusion, and anti-competitive practices.
AOC is a member of Congress. She is in a position to do something about high housing, education, and medical costs.
