Summary:
In this interview, we discuss Guerrero's proposal for a lottocracy, which is a political system where the policymakers are picked via a lottery and would serve 3-year terms. Guerrero argues this would be better than a democracy with elections because it removes the need to raise money to get reelected. It also allows the policymakers to focus on long-term issues that are normally ignored in an election system where candidates must worry about the next election cycle.
