• Why Williams calls himself a radical
• The morality of markets
• The welfare state and bailouts
• How Williams didn\\u2019t \\u201cthink poor\\u201d growing up
• The nefarious aspect of minimum wage
• How Williams stayed positive and avoided bitterness despite opposition
• Malcolm X. and Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Why there\\u2019s no poverty in the United States
