Right‑wing politicians push a lie: that we’re all competing in a zero‑sum game.

In our latest Back‑to‑Basics episode, Heather McGhee breaks down how this “zero‑sum” story is designed to divide us and protect those in power—and why we need to tell a better story about how the economy actually works.

Real wages are down, landlords are cashing in, and Congress is slashing food & housing assistance. Sounds like feudalism with Wi-Fi.

Here's what's up, what's down, and what else has got us shaking our pitchforks this week!

Orthodox economics has long insisted that morality doesn’t matter. But that myth has been a gift to the powerful, giving cover to policies that divide and exploit us.

Heather McGhee joins Nick Hanauer and Paul Constant to explain why morality must be at the heart of our economy. They discuss how racism has been used to undermine collective action, why inclusion is key to real growth, and how we can build an economy based on trust and justice instead of division.

California finally closed a loophole that let farms exploit goatherders, paying for only a fraction of their 24/7 shifts. The industry responded with apocalypse scenarios: the goat industry will collapse! Hillsides will burn! Goats will die!

Here’s what’s really going on: they just don’t want to pay people what they’re owed.

Inclusion isn’t charity—it’s strategy. Economies thrive when everyone can fully participate—as consumers, innovators, and civic leaders. The more people you empower to participate, the stronger the economy becomes. It’s that simple.

Innovation isn’t a solo sport. It takes networks of people with the right know‑how.

Cesar Hidalgo explains why knowledge and hands‑on experience drive real progress in our latest back-to-basics episode: https://buff.ly/a1BBH2F

A low-trust society is a low-growth society. A lack of trust fragments networks, slows collaboration, and stifles innovation. That’s not just bad economics—it’s a self-fulfilling death spiral.

What if everything we were taught about growth, change, and innovation… wasn’t included in mainstream economic models?

W. Brian Arthur explains how neoclassical economics overlooks the dynamic aspects of the economy on our latest back-to-basics episode: https://linktr.ee/pitchforkeconomics

Mainstream economics is built on a lie: that people are selfish, rational calculators.
But if you accept the truth—that humans are moral, emotional, and cooperative—you’ll see that prosperity isn’t the result of greed. It’s the result of reciprocity and trust.

Nick Hanauer breaks it down in the latest Back to Basics episode of Pitchfork Economics.

For over 40 years, we’ve been told that selfishness is a virtue—that if everyone chases their own self-interest, we’ll all be better off.

Our host, Nick Hanauer, calls that what it is: a lie.

Prosperity comes from justice, trust, and cooperation

The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t want you to know who’s actually threatened by rising wages. Here’s why they keep pretending it’s about helping workers.

Nick Hanauer explains why the real agenda stays hidden.
