    The Age of Extraction

    Their words

    The first book is The Age of Extraction by Tim Wu. This is a fantastic book that talks about how many of our companies that used to do a lot of good for the world are now rather than producing wealth, they're doing wealth extraction and that's not good for any of us. And it's relevant for these issues of taxing individuals and taxing companies.

    The other is the book The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order by Gary Gerstle. I like this. All past guests of the show, Tim Wu, Gary Gerstle. Oh, yeah, I love yeah, these are great books. That is a fantastic book and it I will say that the title is a bit daunting.

    Crossroads

    Their words

    And the last book is a book of fiction, the book Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen. Uh fiction at any time and particularly in these times is just a a fantastic place to live, to explore other things than the world that we're living in and I'd say Jonathan Franzen better than almost anyone I know presents people's internal psychological dramas. You feel like you're watching a documentary.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
