Barton Biggs: We need a Job Guarantee program
Barton Biggs—a ludicrously wealthy hedge fund manager—advocates a job guarantee program (think WPA) to rebuild and upgrade US infrastructure, increased taxes on the rich, investment in companies and products with actual use-value, and a bunch of other stuff I never thought would come from someone in his class. GoGo. He remains wedded to neoliberalism, but has taken some surprising steps towards advocating for a more equal society.
Enjoy!
