Folge vom 09.09.2018The Dig: Matt Bruenig Spreads the Wealth AroundWhat socialism should offer is freedom by way of power and democratic control over our polity and economy—and thus over our future as a society. Matt Bruenig has one proposal out at his People's Policy Project on how to begin to do just that, and it's called a social wealth fund. The idea is that the state gradually socializes the assets of every single publicly-traded company in the United States by purchasing their stocks.Thanks to Verso Books.
