In this selection from a debate hosted by the Institute of Art and Ideas, the theme is "Is Social Hierarchy Unavoidable." Ben stays laser focused on examples of how democratization of the economy can reduce hierarchies. The other debaters, Nemone Metaxas, and Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire, focus more on other issues like skill gaps and the exploitation of undocumented workers.
