Episode notes

I think just ad my personal perspective here, i would say, because we've gone down a little bit of the political route here. I am definitely left leaning. I'm from canada as well, so i believe in a lot of things like universal health care, cheap education. But i will say that there is a difference between the way that you want the world to be and actually creating that world.

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.
