​In conjunction with Glen Weyl's visit to Japan, a talk session will be held at Crypto Cafe & Bar, operated by Digital Garage, featuring WIRED Japan's Chief Editor Michiaki Matushima, Next Commons Lab's Hayashi Atushi, and Shibuya Ward's Tasaka Yoshiro. This marks Glen's first talk in Japan.

​Glen Weyl, a political economist and social technologist, earned his Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University just one year after graduating undergraduate. After completing a fellowship at Harvard University, he spent three years as an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, focusing on research and teaching. He later joined Microsoft Research and currently serves as Research Lead of the Plural Technology Collaboratory, having advised senior leaders on geopolitics, macroeconomics, and the future of technology.

​In his 2018 book, Glen introduced innovative concepts such as "Quadratic Voting," allowing voters more flexibility in casting votes based on their opinions and desires, and "Quadratic Funding," for fair and efficient fundraising for public goods and social projects.

​Recently, he has been working with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Taiwan's digital minister Audrey Tang to advance a global social movement called "Plurality," aimed at redirecting the future of technology to support diversity, collaboration, and democracy.

​To commemorate his visit, a talk session on his forthcoming open and collaborative book with Audrey Tang, Plurality: The Future of Collaborative Technology and Democracy will be held with Michiaki Matushima of WIRED, which has been keen on the Japanese edition of "Radical Markets" since its release, along with Hayashi Atushi of Next Commons Lab, who explores new forms of funding for public goods with local governments, and Tasaka Yoshiro from Shibuya Ward Office.

​This event will delve into Audrey and Glen’s philosophy of Plurality and how it can reshape the future of technology. We look forward to your participation.
