Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This episode’s guest advocates abolishing private property as we know it and ditching one person democracy, one vote democracy. And he does this in the name of saving capitalism and a just, democratic society.
His name is Glen Weyl, co-author with Eric Posner of the new book “Radical Markets,” and he joins me to discuss his main arguments and convince me such radical steps are necessary at a time of steady economic growth and falling unemployment. Agree or not, it’s a fascinating discussion.
