I’ll be adding to thins open thread this afternoon, but in the meantime listen to this Highland’s Bunker. In the best tradition of Highlands Bunker, it is an eyeopener in terms of further opening your eyes on topics you think they were already fully open on, such as Universal vs Means Tested programs.
Professor Mark Paul joins Rob in the virtual bunker to talk about his new book, The Ends of Freedom, and get into the history of economic rights in America as well as how modern issues of full employment, inflation, and means testing affect our ability to provide for everyone.
