Episode notes

For those kinds of topics like climate change or advancing technology, there are government grants. I would also say that this does exist in the united states, but it's the military. The biggest gap between the people who can earn a high income with relative security and those who can't is largely based on skills. My software engineer friends, they have a really anti fragile skill set right now. We just don't have enough engineers.

Wealth inequality has been increasing for decades, and recently, there has been a heightened focus on billionaires as we debate what to do about the concentration of large swaths of wealth in a few hands.

In this episode, Steph and Cal discuss whether or not billionaires should exist, common proposals for dealing with billionaires, and a few policy proposals for how we can start thinking about tackling wealth inequality.

Whether you find yourself saying, "billionaires are evil and don't deserve all that money", "billionaires deserve what they have earned", or "I don't care about billionaires, but I care about a world with more equality of opportunity," this episode is for you.
