What if the most powerful tool for human dignity in our lifetime isn't a policy or a protest movement — but a money the state can't reach?Brian takes the values of the social justice movement seriously — lifting up the marginalized, protecting the vulnerable, resisting tyranny — and runs them through John Rawls's "veil of ignorance." If you didn't know who you'd be born as — a Manhattan banker or a single mother in Lagos, a Connecticut homeowner or an Afghan coder in Herat — which monetary system would you choose?The answer, Brian argues, isn't the one being defended by people who use the language of justice.
