“Markets are servants, not masters.” Worth reading @nickhanauer.bsky.social’s new op-ed in @wsj.com on building a pro-market economics that delivers broad-based prosperity, and what today’s economic thinking can learn from FDR’s visionary thinking during the New Deal.

From @nickhanauer.bsky.social in the WSJ: "The golden rule of this new economics is inclusion. The more we include a broad swath of Americans as innovators, entrepreneurs, well-paid workers and robust consumers, the faster the loop spins and the more the economy grows."

The main thing I have to say to the young generation of Americans is that your
grandparents and great-grandparents committed a kind of accounting fraud when they ran our country a century ago with social security, and at the time it was a reasonable affordance to grant our leaders, who were dealing with an economic depression and a world war, but nonetheless they did commit the fraud, and they ended up buying all sorts of extravagant things using the fraudulent gains, including what became the thing we now understand to be the high-modern technocratic nation-state, and that is glorious and also bad and all that, but the thing is there's still the issue about the accounting fraud, whose debt is coming due and is coming due fast.
It is best to consider this with as minimal residue of sentiment as possible, to really sit with it, to stare it coldly in the face.
Unwinding the great fraud of the high modernists is your job, whether you wish it to be or not.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Grahm Platner is clearly a deeply flawed man. However, his ability to articulate the economic problems ordinary Americans face is second to none. If most democrats sounded like him, there would be about 15 republicans in congress.
