The gang return with a single-issue episode - discussing Eric Posner and Glen Weyl's book "Radical Markets", bringing together ideas from the extremes of the political spectrum.
Ideas include eradicating private property, redistributing wealth, pursuing social justice... through a free market encompassing *everything*. They've also got interesting ideas about direct democracy, immigration, anti-trust laws and personal data.
Rowan interviews one of the authors, Glen Weyl, who explains the genesis of the book and the crux of their ideas. Our key conclusion from the whole discussion is that he has an incredibly large brain.
Be sure to check out the book - you may not agree with all 5 of its ideas, but it'll get you thinking.
