Glen Weyl: The Myth of Individualism, Radical Markets, New Societies

My guest today is Glen Weyl: co-author of Radical Markets, founder of the RadicalxChange movement, Ph.D. in economics from Princeton, and in his spare time, works as Microsoft’s Chief Technology Political Economist and Social Technologist (OCTOPEST).

In our conversation, we explore:

• How social technologies and economic institutions shape our physical, mental, and social lives

• The myth of individualism

• How does RadicalxChange compare & contrast with Piketty’s progressive taxation approach?

• How to design markets beyond neoliberalism, as mechanisms for complexity

• UBI, the role of art and artists in creating movements, and a lot more.
