Not prioritized. Might start over. Maybe physical instead of audio?

An easy read yet provocative and forceful in its arguments - my reactions ranged from Are you sure, That sounds too simple, to Hell yes!
The chapter on homelessness and Universal Basic Income is the one to have gained the most press attention. But I found the section on world developments, immigration and open borders the strongest (I particularly liked the citing of the
Book of Daniel as the first written record of a test with a control group).
Full of fascinating stories and strong ideas, with lots of notes to follow up.
Also very prescient that he calls current socialists "dull as a doorknob with no story to tell" which is partly how Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump.

Some interesting ideas in here. Would need to revisit to check the studies on UBI and housing.
