  • How to Build a Just Economy (with Nick Romeo)

    How to Build a Just Economy (with Nick Romeo)
    Apr 30 2024
    Journalist Nick Romeo joins us to discuss his new book "The Alternative: How to Build a Just Economy." Romeo argues that the conventional economic wisdom has fostered political and economic instability, resulting in widening inequality, environmental degradation, and the exploitation of workers. He also highlights innovative solutions and success stories—including worker cooperatives, public-option marketplaces, and job guarantee programs— that paint a picture of how we can design systems in a market economy that truly work for everyone. Nick Romeo is a journalist, critic, and essayist who has spent years covering policy and ideas for The New Yorker magazine. He also teaches at the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley.

  • The Case Against Extreme Wealth (with Ingrid Robeyns)

    The Case Against Extreme Wealth (with Ingrid Robeyns)
    Apr 23 2024
    This week, Nick and Goldy sit down with ethics professor Ingrid Robeyns to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth. Robeyns challenges the idea that it’s acceptable to allow extreme wealth concentration and inequality to persist, advocating instead for a hard cap on wealth accumulation. Nick and Goldy navigate the moral and practical implications of wealth limits on society, democracy, and ecological sustainability. Ingrid Robeyns is a distinguished scholar and Professor of Ethics of Institutions at Utrecht University, and author of the new book, Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth. Professor Robeyns’ research in the field of Ethics and Political Philosophy focuses on issues of justice, inequality, well-being, and the ethical dimensions of societal structures and policies.

  • LIVE from DC: Redefining the Center (with Heather Boushey)

    LIVE from DC: Redefining the Center (with Heather Boushey)
    Apr 16 2024
    This special episode of Pitchfork Economics features a live conversation from the "Redefining the Center: How to Make Middle-Out Economics the New Mainstream" conference hosted by Democracy Journal in Washington, D.C. Heather Boushey, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisors, joins Nick for a wide-ranging discussion moderated by Michael Tomasky, editor of Democracy Journal. Hanauer & Boushey explore the policy initiatives being pursued by the Biden administration that prioritize working families and promote economic growth from the middle out and discuss the crucial role of the middle out as a paradigm shift in how people think about economic cause and effect. This dynamic and thought-provoking discussion was a great start to an outstanding conference. Heather Boushey is an economist and policy advisor who serves as a key member of President Biden's White House Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist for the President’s Invest in America Cabinet. Prior to joining the Biden administration, she was the President and CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a think tank focused on advancing evidence-based policies to reduce inequality. In her role in the White House, she plays a crucial role in shaping economic policy and advising the President on issues related to labor, income inequality, and economic opportunity.

I can't believe I listen to this!

Economics is something I didn't think I would listen to on my days off. But, I found it oddly fulfilling to my life meaning to educate myself and be in the virtual company of those who work for economic fairness and to call out the lies that have been taken for granted by the majority about the trickle-down economic con.
I've lived with the poorest of the poor and I will tell you their suffering is directly related to the extreme economic inequality and corruption that started way back with colonization. There is a light of hope among a roar of misinformation supporting the escalating, exponential economic inequality.
Anyone who supports the golden rule will find this helpful.
From hearing many near-death experiences people relate-this is actually the foundation of what actions are goodness in our lives.
