Everyone, please listen to President Biden here. He clearly articulates middle-out economics as an alternative to neoliberalism. Regardless of whether we go after the oligarchs or highlight wealth inequality, we need a new economics. And one squarely focused on widening the middle class could be it.
Fantastic episode. I appreciate learning more about his accomplishments. I think his insight on speaking plain English to people is spot on. Especially in this new media environment, being a good communicator is critical, and we see that people who speak plainly and directly do much better.

I just read your pitchfork 2014 article and you are prescient/ thoughtful and obviously you and Biden are in agreement.
Reminds me of a Senator Paul Wellstone- “We all do betting, when we all do better”
Thank you for trying. We are in trouble, but always hopeful to know one isn’t alone….
I like, appreciate, and respect you.
If you're not too close to your friendship with the former President can you reflect on the way that many of us feel about his warning us of the oligarchy on his way out rather than his first week in office? You yourself warned everyone of it many years ago.
I have watched all of your Ted talks and I agree with you. I appreciate that you have been so outspoken even at the risk of facing backlash. But the question is: How do we make this happen when the powers that be clearly enjoy the system that benefits them? And it is only going to get worse now.
