Yancey Strickler (@ystrickler), co-founder of Kickstarter and author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World, joins Erik on this episode.

The discuss:

- His experience working on Kickstarter and what he realized about the power of the profit motive in an early-stage company.

- His vision of the world if the ideas from his book become widespread.

- The possibilities for co-op arrangements online and how to organize to ensure that people creating value for a network are the ones capturing that value.

- Why he’s a believer in tech and why he hopes that the power of tech can be used to deliver critical goods rather than to serve ads.
