Over bubble tea in Manhattan, Andrew Yang sat down with Editor-at-Large John Harwood to discuss his campaign. They talked about Donald Trump, impeachment universal basic income, and Democratic socialism versus 'human capitalism.'
: You are a capitalist. But as you see modern capitalism, is it immoral in the way it functions right now?: It is doing what it's designed to do. You would consider it moral if you cared more about capital than human beings. I'd suggest you'd have to be fairly demented to go to this money pile and say, "Yes, we're serving you, money pile." And then to people be like, "Ah," we can ignore them.
So that's the vision of what I call human capitalism that I would pitch to young people.: You get it. But you would say clearly and affirmatively that democratic socialism, as enunciated by somebody like Bernie Sanders or AOC, is just flat wrong – the wrong model?: Well, I think we need a positive economic vision that people can get excited about. I do not think pure socialism is that vision.

When he first entered the primary, the startup guy-turned-presidential candidate’s most distinguishing qualities seemed to be his almost pathological aversion to wearing ties and a belief that giving all Americans over the age of 18 a Universal Basic Income, what he called his “Freedom Dividend,” would prepare us for a looming economic collapse driven by robots and automation. (Yang himself often sums up his presidential run like this: “There’s an Asian man running for president who wants to give everyone $1,000 a month.”)
