I haven’t been on here much lately, but I’ve been producing a podcast with former FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya called The Fair Fight. I hope you’ll check us on out YouTube, Apple or Spotify. Here’s a few clips of the show to give you a sense what we’re all about!
“Lawrence Summers has lost his affiliation with America’s leading economics organization, the latest consequence for the former Treasury secretary and Harvard president stemming from his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.
“The National Bureau of Economic Research said an ad hoc committee reviewed Summers’s conduct and recommended the termination of his appointment as a research associate with the organization.”

The IRS pulled in $3.18 for each dollar spent auditing the top 1%, and $6.29 for the top 0.1%.
There’s one reason and one reason only the GOP wants to defund the IRS: to protect their wealthy mega-donors.

One of the most popular cartoons I ever drew was about the Internet of Things, right after Google announced the acquisition of Nest in early 2014. “I think my Nest smoke alarm is going off,” one character tells another. “Google Adwords just pitched me a fire extinguisher and an offer for temporary housing.”

...given high levels of market concentration... what we should be expecting is that these firms have a lot of pricing power and that is driving [price rises]."

For most of last year economists and pundits engaged in a long, circular debate about why inflation was spiking around the world, and who was to blame for those skyrocketing prices. Economic experts at the Roosevelt Institute (including past guest Joseph Stiglitz) have finally revealed the root causes of global inflation in a new report. Stiglitz’s co-author, Ira Regmi, shares what they’ve learned.
