Josh Sidman joins me to debate the nature of private property, the legitimacy of land ownership, and the controversial ideas of economist Silvio Gesell. We clash over whether land ownership undermines freedom, if saving can become parasitic in a monetary system, and whether interest is a tool of coordination or coercion. We dig into the philosophical roots of ownership, the role of money in shaping human action, and whether Bitcoin resolves or reinforces the core tensions in our economic system.
Josh Sidman is the founder/director at The Silvio Gesell Foundation, former derivatives trader, professional musician, and small business owner.
