Show notes

Nick Hanauer of Civic Ventures and the Pitchfork Economics Podcast sits down with Max for a lengthy discussion on economic systems. For the past few years, Nick has worked closely with economists from around the world to develop a new framework called Market Humanism to fundamentally shift the current post-neoliberal paradigm toward something more beneficial for the masses and away from the one percent.
