Glen Weyl: What If We Could Sustainably Decentralise Power, Using the Blockchain?

Private property, modern liberalism, the worldwide web – all of these inventions were supposed to be about decentralising power, but with every single one we have seen reconcentrations. Glen Weyl is Microsoft’s principal researcher; a visiting research scholar at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson Schools Glen Weyl is a political economist and social technologist; his book Radical Markets proposes to abolish private property using blockchain technology. He argues that by thinking through the social and economic dynamics of decentralisation, we might be able to build rules into a decentralised system to make it last.
