Kathleen Sabo is joined by Dr. Will Barnes and attorney Paul Biderman to discuss ethics. Is capitalism ethical? As more and more wealth is concentrated in the bank accounts of a few billionaires, do the mega rich have an ethical obligation to distribute their wealth? Is poverty ethical? With the means to reprioritize funding and to seemingly infinitely fund programs and services, is it ethical for anyone to remain in poverty? This episode will also explore a universal basic income (UBI) and if we as a society need it, or work, from an ethical standpoint.
