Prof. @pkrugman.bsky.social and historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social joined forces today by launching "Lunch Money,” a new monthly conversation series about how money shapes our politics www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6vc...
Last night we welcomed Lina M. Khan, former FTC Chair, for an enlightening conversation with our own Paul Krugman, research professor in economics. Video of “Affordability, Antitrust, and Inequality” coming soon! Presented with @stone-lis.bsky.social (Photos: Matt Harvey)
Trump’s declaration that he expects UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER from Iran does not seem to be calming markets
Remember all those boasts about jobs and gasoline prices in the State of the Union? www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Zv...
excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.
Many people talking about how gasoline prices at the pump have already jumped. But what should really terrify Republicans is RBOB — the futures price on wholesale gasoline. This is up 75 cents a gallon since its low earlier this year.
If affordability is a political issue, who’s really responsible?
Lina M. Khan and Paul Krugman discuss monopoly power, antitrust, and inequality at Affordability, Antitrust, and Inequality. @pkrugman.bsky.social
