Good interview. Seems like the book is similar to Robert Reichs book, Saving Capitalism. In that it stresses that capitalism is not developed in a vacuum, but much of the terms are for us to define and dont infringe on capitalism per se. Overall great interview, thanks for sharing.
The discussion around daycare was fascinating. The massive change made to the social acceptance of using daycare during WW2 gives lessons to today. I think we’re seeing the same thing with receiving direct cash payments from the government. Without the shock to the system of the pandemic, the stigma of getting cash payments from the government would always hinder widespread public acceptance and probably make the child tax credit policy a political nonstarter. That this has played out before in our history was really interesting.
