CHAPTER

Economic Inequality and Human Choice

This chapter examines the interplay between economic inequality and social collapse through the lens of Camus' 'The Plague', while discussing various human responses such as nihilism and hedonism. The speaker shares personal insights on predicting economic disasters and engages listeners in thought experiments about wealth redistribution and a hypothetical wealth time limit. The dialogue encourages a reassessment of how society addresses wealth inequality, balancing existential freedom with collective responsibility.
