Mike talks with E. Glen Weyl, a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research New York City, about his recent book with Eric Posner, Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society.

Mike and Glen discuss:

  • why private property is a form of inefficient monopoly and how to fix it
  • the problem with ‘one person, one vote’ and a proposed alternative
  • a radical alternative to our current immigration system
  • how big institutional investors discourage innovation and growth
  • the massive amount of unpaid labor we willingly provide to Facebook, Google, Amazon, and other Big Tech companies
