What does it mean to live a just life in a society where the economic scales have been tipped for centuries? While protests, legislation, and boycotts are vital tools for justice, Dr. Boyce Watkins argues that there is another hammer we must pick up: Finance. In this episode, Benjamin Watson and Dr. Watkins move beyond the abstract and dive into the “science of wealth.”
From Dr. Watkins’ humble beginnings in Louisville to his tenure at Syracuse University, this conversation explores why true freedom isn’t just the absence of chains, it’s the presence of ownership. They discuss the looming threat of AI, the “gang-like” loyalty required to build family institutions, and why your time is more valuable than your bank account.
