What happens when you remove money from the political nomination process?
In this episode of Everything Finance, Tom Joseph, founder of Bookminders and creator of America’s Main Street Party, to explore a bold idea: a moneyless nominating system designed to put public participation ahead of financial influence.
Tom explains his vision for the “People’s Primary,” how technology could reshape candidate selection, and whether a political system can realistically reduce the role of money while remaining secure, fair, and scalable.
The conversation goes beyond politics and into a broader question about systems, technology, power and participation: when you redesign the rules, can you change the outcomes?
