My conversation today is with Peter Frase, author of Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, and member of Jacobin Magazine’s editorial board.

Peter is among the most cogent writers on complex socioeconomic topics I’ve encountered. He dropped out of a sociology PhD program & began writing for a more popular, inclusive audience both through his personal website, and as a frequent contributor for Jacobin Magazine, a leading voice in radical left politics.

We spoke about:

  • The past, present, and future of democratic socialism

  • How economic frameworks create the conditions with human development

  • The technocracy of John Maynard Keynes

  • Universal Basic Income

  • The social contract of a post-work society. What does “post-work” actually mean?

  • What is leisure time for? What kinds of humans do we wish to become?

  • Thomas Piketty and the new proposals for progressive taxation

  • Peter’s selection of reading for the foundations & futures of democratic socialism
