Join zillionaire class-traitor Nick Hanauer and some of the world’s leading economic and political thinkers as they explore the latest thinking on how the economy actually works.

Antitrust enforcement has stalled under the Trump administration. Without states stepping in, corporate consolidation would go largely unchecked.

Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown explains that it was clear the DOJ "was not going to be a trusted partner when it came to antitrust enforcement."

States have been stepping up to do that job ever since — first with Live Nation/Ticketmaster, now with Paramount-Warner Bros. It's a real-time look at what enforcement requires when the political will at the federal level disappears.

There is a blinking red light at the heart of the proposed Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. And it's just one of the many reasons workers will likely lose their jobs if the merger goes through.

From this week's episode with Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown who is one of 12 state AGs suing to block the merger.

The old economic story says corporate mergers make companies more efficient, and that consumers and workers will eventually benefit.

But consolidation usually means less competition, fewer choices, and more power over the people who do the work.

Markets don’t stay competitive on their own. Public rules have to protect competition and keep corporate power in check.

Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown joins Nick and Goldy this week to explain why states are challenging the Paramount Pictures– Warner Bros. Discovery merger as the federal government abandons antitrust enforcement.

When major players in an industry merge, prices go up, wages go down, consumer choice decreases, and slows innovation.

That's why antitrust cases like the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger are so critical.

This week, Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown joins us to give an update on the case he and 11 other states are leading to block this merger, the state of antitrust enforcement at the federal level, and more.

Suffice it to say, Goldy is a fan of the Good Life Agenda from The Roosevelt Institute. From last week's episode with President and CEO Elizabeth Wilkins.

The fundamental assumptions of neoliberal economics are crumbling around us. The question isn't whether change is coming, it's what that change looks.

Elizabeth Wilkins joined Nick and Goldy to talk about Roosevelt Institute's Good Life Agenda, their answer to that question.

People aren’t just saying things cost too much. They’re also saying their wages are too low — and, more deeply, that the...

People aren’t just saying things cost too much. They’re also saying their wages are too low — and, more deeply, that they have too little control over their lives.

This week on Pitchfork Economics, Roosevelt Institute President and CEO Elizabeth Wilkins joins Nick and Goldy to talk about the Good Life Agenda — and why the real crisis is bigger than affordability alone.

"I have no control over my life".

Roosevelt Institute President and CEO Elizabeth Wilkins joins us this week to talk about their Good Life Agenda, and why "affordability" undersells what people are actually asking for. It's not just prices. It's wages. It's power. It's self determination.

And it means our economic policy needs to fundamentally change who has power in our economy.

We are in the middle of a critical economic transformation. It may not feel like it, but the neoliberal dam is cracking under pressure. The ingredients for change are here — the biggest question now is whether we choose to replace it with a system that actually works for working people.

Some of America’s richest executives are promising that AI will unleash a historic productivity boom—while warning that it could also eliminate millions of jobs.

But technology alone doesn’t create broadly shared growth. As Preston Mui explains, strong employment and wages support consumer demand, and strong demand gives businesses a reason to invest in workers, equipment, and new technology.

We’re closing out our archive miniseries, Myths That Built Trickle-Down Economics by revisiting why productivity is a policy choice—and why its benefits do not automatically trickle down.
