Ironically, I found the second half much better than the average "new economics" thinkpiece.
It's wholly nonempircal, to be sure, and it seems to ignore current trends in regulation and corporate behavior. But it does manage to put together an internally-consistent vision for the future, which is surprisingly rare. That alone puts it head and shoulder above the common calls for UBI, or deregulation, or a gig economy which fail to even consider the framework required for such a change.
