Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our fourteenth episode features Glen Weyl. Glen is a political economist and social technologist who is focused on how new technologies and markets can create a more equal, cooperative society. He’s best known in the blockchain space for his work with Vitalik Buterin on their paper “Liberal Radicalism” (coauthored with Zoë Hitzig), and he’s deeply passionate about building a global movement for change. Glen is also the coauthor of “Radical Markets”, and he teaches at Princeton University and is a principal researcher at Microsoft in New York. On this episode Glen discusses what Liberal Radicalism represents, how mechanisms like quadratic voting and Harberger taxes can be applied at small scale and globally, why we should treat data as a product of labor, and why we must pursue and value social innovation as much as technological innovation. Enigma's new podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? ---- Relevant links: Glen’s email: [email protected] Radicalxchange: www.radicalxchange.org Enigma: www.enigma.co Enigma Blog: blog.enigma.co Enigma Twitter: www.twitter.com/enigmampc
