Former Princeton economist Dr. Glenn Weill outlines his "Radical Exchange" movement, which seeks to replace neoliberal frameworks with decentralized institutions utilizing mechanisms like quadratic voting and Common Ownership Self-Assessed Taxes. Weill critiques existing economic models and the elitism of the effective altruism community while proposing that blockchain technology serve primarily as a forum for debating social legitimacy rather than a superior technical data structure. Participants are invited to the upcoming Detroit conference to collaborate on local chapters and global experiments, such as piloting participatory voting systems with the Taiwanese government.
