Where should corporate profits go?
@NickHanauer argues that companies are spending $1.5 trillion a year buying back their own stock, a practice that was illegal until 1982, while the share of the economy going to wages keeps shrinking.
@jasonfurman argues that wages are the highest they have ever been in American history, and they are growing fastest for the lowest-paid workers.

Neoliberalism has failed.
What should replace it?
@EricBeinhocker lays out one answer: Market Humanism (developed with our host, @NickHanauer).
Watch the interview on TheSling.org
What would you change about the economy?

If you’re asking, “What does this actually look like in practice?”—this is a good place to start.
Eric & Nick released a free booklet for policymakers: Markets Built for Humans.
It’s a clear, practical entry point into the ideas behind Market Humanism.

How much are you paying for gas? Almost everyone knows; it’s posted on neon signs, everywhere.
Electricity? It’s about the least transparent price in our economy.
We at @mit and @heatmap_news launched the Electricity Price Hub to solve that problem.

2/ The left has never fully grappled with the wreckage of fifty years of neoliberalism, which has left legions of Americans adrift as local places are hollowed out, rapacious profit seeking cannibalizes the common good, and unchecked new technology separates and isolates us.

BREAKING: This moment during Kamala Harris’ interview with Fox News was by far her best moment of the campaign. Retweet to make sure every American sees this powerful moment.

Oh no. This is totally wrong to flood the zone on this. No one should do this.
Here’s the signup link for Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden! Enjoy!

Spoiler alert: On most issues, the center is arguably somewhere in the vicinity of Kamala Harris. Especially on the economy.

🚨BIG: @FTC sues the three dominant pharmacy benefit managers—which control 80% of US prescriptions—for inflating insulin prices.
PBMs blocked cheaper alternatives from market, as expensive drugs meant fatter rebates from pharma companies. HUGE.👇

Having the man currently running to be President of the United States, telling his millions of followers, many of whom are known to be violent, that he HATES Taylor Swift is a problem - just like what Elon tweeted after the debate was a problem - and we do our country a disservice to pretend otherwise.
