During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Charles about the radical changes the jobs market is currently undergoing. Charles talks about how central planning, technology and outsourcing/offshoring has made labor and capital both un-scarce. Jason and Charles talk about the goals of Keynesian central planning and how it has made capital so cheap that it’s easier for companies to invest in robots and automation now than it should be without normalized interest rates.

Charles thinks continued learned throughout one’s adult lifetime, working in local communities and finding more work there with relationships with people will be more enjoyable than a corporate job working 70+ hours a week.
