“Make America affordable again” @RanaForoohar @FT I’m not often a kindred spirit of @RanaForoohar, but this struck me as good advice for the Democrats, taking the real insights from Mamdani’s campaign, whilst warning against the likely pitfalls.

Thanks for having me; great convo!
On GPS, @ 10am & 1pm ET today on @CNN: I’ll ask @AlexGabuev if Pres. Trump has had enough of Pres. Putin; @RanaForoohar if Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill (now law) will cause economic growth or pain; and @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about the company’s record-setting growth & the…
Delighted to be with @FareedZakaria this Sunday. I think how the “big beautiful bill” goes down with MAGA once the economic impact hits will tell us much about where we are politically

A good one, although the last questioner was right that we should have talked more about how to win in the future. Also, I wish I had voiced my own thoughts on why Kamala lost (journos are much closer to that story than academics). She didn’t understand Pennsylvania or populism.
A terrific plenary at the #BeyondNeoliberalism conference at Cambridge in May. @rodrikdani @Jayati1609 @HBoushey @RanaForoohar

Lots to learn from the global south about how to combat the fallout of neoliberalism
"Integration to global capital markets has been the real weapon of neoliberalism in the Global South. If countries get together, form coalitions, you can do a lot more in terms of financial regulation and cross border regulation." @Jayati1609 with Marcos Nobre and @RanaForoohar…
