I guest-hosted our podcast Deconstructed again this week, and was joined by
my colleague Nausicaa Renner (whose twitter is here) and the heterodox
economist Jamie Galbraith, who has the wisdom not to tweet. If you read his
essay earlier at The Intercept, you know that he has a series of proposals
that he persuasively argues are required if we’re ever going to get the
economy running again. It’s interesting that both the Biden and Trump
campaigns more or less agree that once we get through the coronavirus
pandemic, the economy will return to how it was. The difference between the
two is that Trump insists it will simply just “go away,” while Biden argues
for a forceful combination of state and federal intervention, increased
personal responsibility, and the advent of mass testing and ultimately a
vaccine. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

ultimately a vaccine. 

But what about the other side of all this? Galbraith argues that the
pandemic’s multiple shocks to the system require a response that is both
different in approach and more aggressive in its application than the
actions taken in the 2008 financial crisis.

The Working Families Party, which played a major role in both, had quite a
year. All told, in Delaware, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, and Texas, they helped elect 33 new progressive state
legislators, the kinds of wins that can have exponential effects, as other
lawmakers see which way the wind is blowing and shift their own orientation
in response.
