LPEblogToday, Jonathan Harris explains how companies lock workers into jobs by saddling them with debt.
Since firms are treating workers as their consumers, he argues, consumer law should fill the voids left in contract and employment law protections.

Henry FarrellThe issue of Daedalus on the New Moral Economy, edited by Margaret Levi and myself, is now available - all open access - https://www.amacad.org/daedalus/creating-new-moral-political-economy. Authors include Alison Gopnik, Darrick Hamilton, Debra Satz and Rick Locke among others. More tomorrow.
Creating a New Moral Political Economy
Capitalist democracy needs rethinking and renewal. Our current political economic framework is fixated on GDP, individual achievement, and short-term profit, all the while heightening barriers to widespread prosperity. Faced with mounting climate crises and systemic discrimination, we must reimagine ways to ensure ethical flourishing for all. In response, the Winter 2023 issue of Dædalus focuses on “Creating a New Moral Political Economy,” and addresses these long-standing problems and how to combat the resultant unequal footing across the polity, marketplace, and workplace. In eleven main essays and twenty-two responses, the authors raise questions about how to create supportive social movements that prioritize collective, equitable, and respectful responsibility for care of the earth and its people.
"Táíwò argues, and here too I agree, that 'the proper task of social justice…is to, quite literally, remake the world.' Given this, his targets for climate justice are, if anything, too modest: why stop with eliminating tax havens or endowing the Global Climate Fund? Why not aim at the reorganization of the global economy itself, as many anti-colonial leaders once did?"
