Garth Coghlanfinished reading Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
by Eric Posner & Glen Weyl.
Proposes a number of dramatic reforms to foundational institutions: including property, voting & migration. A perennial auction of property would result in shared public ownership funding a basic income and ensuring more efficient use of capital - this one challenged my deep set conception of ownership & control. Quadratic voting would enable citizens to give more democratic weight to issues of more concern to them - fantastic, we should do this! Would love to see these ideas get consideration and trial runs. We desperately need more creative thinking along these lines. No consideration given to environmental limits.
