I appreciate the positive, realistic policy ideas
It’s rare in current media to find commentary around capitalism that is focused on making capitalism work well. There is plenty out there opposing it completely, or praising it completely, or pretending that bad ideas are really great ideas that are going to work for the people they’re shilling them too. That is where Pitchfork Economics comes in with its wonky cheerleading for a vision of kinder, more effective capitalism. I was glad to see wage theft as a recent topic but disappointed that different forms of wage theft were not explored in more detail. They spoke on a high level about classification and evading taxes but I wanted to hear much more discussion around the specific ways that corporations misclassify workers. I don’t think enough people are aware of what this looks like IRL and if they were they’d start to realize how pervasive it is. The idea of criminalizing wage theft by employers would be a game changer in terms of labor policy.

More reviews of Pitchfork Economics with Nick Hanauer
I love this perspective on issues. I don’t always agree but that doesn’t detract from the greatness of Nick and his mission🙂

He over simplifies economics and is over confident. Listen to this podcast with a grain of salt.
