Albert Wenger is a partner at Union Square Ventures as well as a prolific thinker and writer. His “World After Capital” is an evolving digital book project that looks at a set of megatrend shifts as the world moves between economic paradigms from the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Age. 
In this wide-ranging conversation, he and NLW discuss: 

Why attention is at the center of the new Knowledge Age

Why markets can’t price crucial needs such as pandemic preparedness

Why the new era will be defined by three categories of freedoms: economic freedom, information freedom and psychological freedom

Why universal basic income has an important role to play in economic freedom

How UBI could avoid political capture 

Why technology is inherently deflationary 

Why real estate, education and health care should be much cheaper than they are

Why community currencies could be a key innovation from the current crisis
