Sir Ian Bowler on The Cuts

Funny Sir Ian should mention “selling yourselves to the highest bidder”.

I’m just ploughing through last years Prometheus Award winner for libertarian science-fiction, “The Unincorporated Man”, set in a future where everyone is incorporated at birth and sells bits of their future earning power and so on to others for investment in things like education, and they then spend most of their lives trying to buy back enough stock to give themselves majority control over themselves.

Just perhaps, on the basis that equity is slightly fairer than debt, there’s a germ of an idea in there!
