Shea and I talk UBI studies and the metaphysics of value

About this episode

Ben and Shea discuss Universal Basic Income studies and the metaphysics of value, exploring property rights and zoning law reforms.

A bunch of this was me trying to understanding Shea’s metaphysics of value and also where he sees property rights as coming from. It may have been more repetitive than usual, since I kept asking him to explain stuff again, but it was helpful for me at least! We reference this series of blog posts about proposed reforms to zoning laws. This is a public episode.
