In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we sit down with Rick Osbourne and Michael Greaney of the Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ) to explore a transformative economic vision: Universal Basic Ownership. While modern political debates often center on Universal Basic Income, Osbourne and Greaney argue that the real solution to systemic inequality lies not in redistributing income, but in democratizing the ownership of capital.

For decades, the concentration of wealth has left the majority of the workforce dependent on wages alone, while the benefits of automation and technology accrue to a small elite. Osbourne and Greaney join us to discuss how Economic Democracy and the “Just Third Way” can empower every citizen to become a shareholder in the economy, ensuring that progress benefits the many rather than the few.

Inside This Episode:

  • Beyond the Wage System: Why labor alone can no longer sustain the middle class in an age of AI and automation.

  • The Just Third Way: A market-based alternative to both traditional capitalism and socialism.

  • Capital Homesteading: Practical policy solutions to provide every American with a stake in corporate growth.

  • Restoring Agency: How ownership leads to true political and personal independence.
