The Blockchain Socialist Why the Left Should Care About Identity and Quadratic Voting feat. Paula Berman from Democracy Earth
This week I spoke with Paula Berman (@_paulaberman), researcher at the Democracy Earth Foundation (@DemocracyEarth) which is a tech non-profit that aims to create platforms for decentralized and incorruptible online governance. Their projects have largely been based on Ethereum.
In the interview we discuss the identity problem for decentralized platforms like blockchain, the advantages of quadratic voting as opposed to current systems, and why the Left should care about all these things.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
