With so much in the world off-kilter, it's perhaps no surprise that HBS Prof. Rebecca Henderson says the key to a better future is balance, since both unconstrained markets and capitalism and unconstrained governments have both proven to be failures. youtube.com/shorts/Hbfni...

We asked renowned Harvard Business School Professor Rebecca Henderson to come on and talk about what has happened since she published her landmark 2020 book: "Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire." Our talk was honest, sobering, and enlightening. Please give it a listen. youtu.be/iVrqHp33Tws

Studies like this always remind me how perverse it is that Harvard still has a football team. I've always thought the program's motto should be "Harvard Football: Taking the world's greatest minds and smashing them together since 1873." hms.harvard.edu/news/least-1...

This kind of lazy, click-bait-y story framing by the Boston Globe is how ignorant NIMBYism wins and our children and the planet lose. It's time to #cancelcorporatejournalism www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/16/s...

When the most corrupt governing body in international sport met the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, what exactly did we think was going to happen? #benchbalogun

Crypto's only use cases have always been bribery, money laundering, financial crime, and naked speculation. Time to regulate it out of existence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

You can't understand inequality without fully understanding the labor market. #inclusiveprosperity

Is it just me or is Scott Galloway's character arc really interesting?

Just arriving in my inbox... the worst sale pitch ever! "Hey, you can pay $41.99 a year for Bari Weiss!"

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman calls UMass Amherst economist Arin Dube the "go to guy on minimum wages." On our new episode, Dube discusses labor market myths and misunderstandings and what the evidence really says about the effects of minimum wage laws. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

"The truth is in the middle" is one the biggest and most damaging fallacies of our time, promoted by those with wealth and power for their own benefit. The truth is where rigorous scholarship and honest inquiry says it is.

The most Orange County news story ever. ktla.com/news/orange-...

The NY Times apparently thinks fairness in journalism means having no values at all. Trump assaults one of the key factors in America's rise to global leadership — immigration — and the best the Times can do is call it a “risky pivot.”

A feature, not a bug. #aworldwithoutbillionaires

Thank you, Estelle! Feel free to suggest topics you'd like to hear about on the podcast!

A great chance to hear Dani explain further why he thinks manufacturing no longer holds the same promise for developing economies—and why the service sector is a key to more equitable prosperity in the future. #economicsforinclusiveprosperity

What is Economics for Inclusive Prosperity? This is the episode where it all began, featuring Dani Rodrik and Suresh Naidu. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Some people have to do boring stuff at work. I get to pick Dani Rodrik's brain about issues I care about. #luckyme youtu.be/BPSDkzoZ494?...

How can we get the equitable economic benefits of the Cold War without all the guns and tanks? Please watch. #inclusiveprosperitypodcast

You think you know what meritocracy is. You probably don't. My latest Economics for Inclusive Prosperity podcast.

Originalism is judicial claptrap, a legal hustle that undermines a dynamic declaration of principles by misrepresenting it as secular scripture and casting the Founding Fathers as ersatz apostles. Scalia was a facile fraud. Shame on his enablers, including RBG. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

New England's corporate center-right power brokers have a new hype squad. And the billionaire-owned Globe is hyping it. The Henry are taking the Globe in the same direction that Bezos is taking the Post, just less ham-handedly. #cancelcorporatejournalism www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/14/b...

The current U.S. government is a klepto-kakis-autocra-oligarch-cracy. I think we need a new word... #peopleofprinciple

Happy Tax Day. Let's spread the happiness a bit more inclusively for the next one. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A very interesting conversation with Dani. One reason I like him is that he's what I call an "early adopter of empirical reality," meaning he's unafraid to look ahead to where the evidence is pointing, regardless of whether it upends conventional wisdom. Also some interesting thoughts on AI here.

Harvard Kennedy School economist Dani Rodrik was ahead of the curve predicting the end of neoliberal globalization. Now he's defying conventional wisdom again, saying the service sector—not manufacturing—is the most promising source of good jobs in the future. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

What a pleasure to moderate this wide-ranging discussion at Harvard with three stellar economists: Dani Rodrik, Carmen Reinhart, and Gita Gopinath. There's a lot of timely wisdom here for those trying to figure out this helter-skelter time we're living in. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

Our new episode is live! Economists Ilyana Kuziemko (Princeton) and Suresh Naidu (Columbia) discuss their research on the Great Compression, and how lessons from Cold War military spending might help fight today's inequality—without the missiles and tanks. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

If you are not actively defending truth and empirical facts, you are not a journalist. Full stop. #nonprofitjournalism

Contrary to the old saying, you can be too rich or too thin. But you can't have too many hoodie sweatshirts.

I loved this conversation. Luigi is a fascinating guy with really interesting new ideas on how to fix capitalism.
