he referred to milton freedman as one of the false prophets that have been exposed in the new "woke"uess. do you buy into that is adam smith now -- you know, i always go back to 1776 and say do we need to learn this every 20 years, that the invisible hand really does allocate capital in a more effective way than central planners? are you tending that way, that central planning -- that there's a place for that and that the free market is not the most efficient way? >> well, i mean, i don't think those two extremes are the only outcomes you have. i think the freedman ideology of shareholder supremacy i think definitely dominated the world from the '70s through the '90s jackwelch is a great poe opponent of the idea of shareholder value. you have seen a lot of people, not just in the populus movements of warren but also at the business roundtable saying that different stakeholder groups should be accounted for you have huge sectors growing like impact investing which is a broader stakeholder conception of what ceos and managers should be doing so i do see the pendulum swinging a little b

and who else wanted universal basic income, milton freedman. he said none of us will be safe without a universal basic income. the idea of the universal basic is not something new. and i agree with andrew. and i've mentioned here already today that i believe that all foreign and domestic policy should be built around the core principle, what will help people thrive. tense, anxious, stressed people are not at their best. they don't have time and energy and band ridge to be there for the lovers and for their friends and partners and children who want mommy or daddy to read a bed time story before they go to sleep at night or the bandwidth or the energy to be there for children and to participate in family dynamic the way they might. they don't have the happiness and the stress-free ability to be good employers and employees. this is the genesis of societal dysfunction. this is the genesis of sital malfunction and malfunction is what happens when dysfunction is so bad that you're talking about self-destruction here. so anything that helps people t

light book about a heavy topic so it's fortuitous we're featuring this on the birthday of milton freedman, a champion of economic and overall human freedom. >> we were lucking of the hasn't him for some of to us have worked with him to limited going. i'm shoe he would agree with the title of the book but i can't recall him ever putting his opposition to socialism in quite those terms. today socialism gained an appeal among some americans-specially young americans, as a viable alternative to a market economy, and to this market economy that has prevailed and characterized the united states. this is so much the case that leading political candidates and others openly espouse their admiration for the ideology and the policies it implies. yet how much do americans really understand about socialism and are there aspects of its appeal that are well-founded. one of the goals of the authors of socialism sucks is to disabuse readers of any idealism they might have for the ideology by appealing to reality, and direct observation that most readers can relate. to rather than by relying on reames of d

new kind of capitalism and that new kind of capitalism that's going to emerge is not the millton freedmanbout making money if you're orientation is just about making money, i don't think you're going to hang out very long as a ceo or a founder of a company you have to be more than that in today's world. you certainly have to be more than that in san francisco you have to be more than that in our tech strindustry as well. >> and we have mark zuckerberg responding to recent comments from senator bernie sanders saying billionaires should not exist. >> i understand where he's coming from. i don't know if i have, like, an exact threshold on what amount of money someone should have, but look, at some level, no one deserves to have that much money. >> joining us now, "new york times" columnist, a cnbc skri distributor, do you agree no one deserves that much money >> can i say the obvious these are two people who are already billionaires it's already easy once you have these fortunes, when that ship has sailed, to say okay, let's close the gates behind us. so nobody else should ever have this kin

that the traditional milton freedman concept that is only about the shareholder, that the ceo's onlyolder return is dead that capitalism is dead. but a new capitalism is emerging and you can see it through the largest and most important companies on the planet which is the business round table and the business council, the international ibc which is part of the world economic forum all say the same thing, which is we need to value all stakeholders and all shareholders when i say stakeholders, what do i mean our employees, our customers, our partners but i am from san francisco. we have a horrible homeless problem there. the homeless are a stake daholdr for me that's why i was fighting for proposition "c," a tax on ourself. we have to deal with the homeless situation in situation. as the largest employer in san francisco, i'm not focussed on that, if they aren't one of my key stake daholders, what is >> if your orientation is just about making money, you're not going to hang out long as the ceo or founder of the company. if not, then what? your board fires you your sales drop? what is

when he went public, he declared milton freedman was wrong, his company had a yummy, that's what he calleduse the term stake holder rather than shareholders coming first. it was a lot of fun, the stock opened at 35, huge ipo, went to 43, now it's $4 a share. it was always my cautionary tale about trying to put the so-called stake holder before profits. but i think there's a massive sea change in the american public, and you got to go item by item. something like plant-based burgers, i mean, if you are burger king you give it a shot. stuart: i have no objection to corporations putting out a kinder, gentler image to soften the image of rapacious capitalism. but i have every objection if they follow through and insist the profits be distributed to all and sundry including the global community and climate warriors and heaven knows who else. i've got a problem with that. >> i'm with you on that. i just don't know if you and i may end up just being on i won't say the wrong side of this debate, but that this is the locomotive that's leaving the station, you know. this morning i found something in
