Unemployment is a policy choice. Accepting it as a perennial feature of the economy and an unfortunate but unavoidable situation IS a self-imposed intellectual handicap. It causes so much pain and devastation. We can choose differently: amazon.com/dp/1509542094/…

Economic insecurity drives electoral results on the left and on the right. They are mostly protest votes, until someone comes along with an affirmative and progressive vision for working families that speaks to their issues.
Just tuned in to hear @ZohranKMamdani use his victory speech to recite my favorite FDR quote of all. Truly epic. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
During #SOTU2025, Trump argued that the country had turned red (overwhelmingly voting Republican), as if he’d read the @LevyEcon Brief we issued yesterday, co-authored by myself and L. Randall Wray levyinstitute.org/publications/t… Except his win was narrow by historical standards🧵 1/x
Americans are far more progressive than either party gives them credit for. Mamdani is bellwether, not a "left NYC case." As we documented at @LevyEcon, Dem candidates who won in deep red states or outperformed the national Dem ticket in Nov '24 ran on an economic populist agenda

“Jia Genliang..co-author of the new book Modern Monetary Theory in China and a professor at the Renmin University of China in Beijing said…We don’t need to fear even if trade surplus becomes zero, because we can replace exports with a higher fiscal deficit.”…
