Mike Munger, Professor at Duke University and author of the new book Platforms: The Perils and Promise, joins Jason Hartman to discuss the potential of a $15 minimum wage, and what that would do to the economy vs what a UBI could do. The two also discuss asset prices, monopolies, and what HAS to be fixed with our current version of capitalism. Key Takeaways: [2:47] What is the 3rd revolution [8:17] Why Mike is in favor of Universal Basic Income [12:48] How do you find the ideal amount of UBI?
