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.
