Erik is joined on this episode by Nicolas Colin, co-founder and director of The Family, and author of Hedge: A Greater Safety Net For The Entrepreneurial Age.
They discuss:

- The key functions of version 1.0 of the social safety net.
- How to solve the problem that most jobs are located in cities, but cities are also mostly unaffordable.
- Why the 21st century will be more like the 19th century than the 20th.
- Why this is the entrepreneurial age, and what that means for workers.
- The story of the Rothschilds and how they prevented potential wars.
- The problems with universal basic income.
- How China is innovating on the social contract.
- The fact that nation-states are a recent invention and are not necessarily the only way to organize in the future.
