In this episode I am exploring the divergence between productivity and wages in western economies since 1970.  This was covered in one of my first podcasts and is a striking failure of society that has derailed post-war successes and led to the current situation of inequity and unrest. It puts us in the strange position that robotics and AI are going to make the vast majority of the world poorer and further behind. Dean Baker is the co-founder and a senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. He has written numerous books and articles. His most recent book is Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy Were Structured to Make the Rich Richer. Join The Rational View on Facebook Follow me on YouTube

In this week's episode of the Passing Judgment podcast, host Jessica Levinson engages in a compelling discussion with guest Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, on the state of the economy and associated governance challenges. Join us as we cover a range of crucial economic issues, shedding light on several key takeaways for you listeners.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Economic Perception vs. Reality: Despite public perception of a negative economy, the data tells a different story. With low unemployment rates, high workplace satisfaction, and real wage gains, the economy is showing positive signs.2️⃣ The Influence of Pessimism on Economic Behavior: While people may feel negatively about the economy, high levels of consumer spending, particularly on non-essential items, suggest that behavior does not always align with perception.3️⃣ The Tension Between Expertise and Politics: Issues like combatting global warming, altering prescription drug research financing, implementing a financial transactions tax, and addressing CEO pay are key priorities, but there are structural government challenges hindering progress.Follow Our Guest:On X formerly known as Twitter: @DeanBaker13Follow Our Host:On Threads: @LevinsonJessica

Our semi-annual focus on economics with a stellar set of guests – Dean Baker, Paul Krugman, and Stephanie Ruhle – falls this week at the starkest of crossroads: economic news and bellwethers are stunningly good while American's views of the state of the economy are stunningly bad.

Two recent reports seem to set out a remarkable state of economic affairs of cooling inflation combined with low unemployment and recession for now held at bay.

What makes an idea valuable? What turns it into a product that can be bought, sold, or rented? Ideas turn into capital assets thanks to our system of intellectual property rights. But understanding IP isn't simply a matter of learning what a trademark or patent is, and then learning how to leverage it to create wealth. To truly understand intellectual property, we need to under property—what it is and why it exists—first.In this episode, I explore the origins of our conception of private property, why we've coded intellectual property rights into law, and how one business owner—Jenny Blake—licenses her IP to companies to generate (relatively) passive income. Footnotes: Jenny Blake's Free Time Jenny Blake's Pivot Method Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow “Coding Land and Ideas | The Laws of Capitalism” featuring Katharina Pistor via the Institute for New Economic Thinking “Enclosure” on Wikipedia “Legal Evil” featuring Katharina Pistor via the Institute for New Economic Thinking “How to Unf★ck Intellectual Property” featuring Dean Baker via the Institute for New Economic Thinking Rentier Capitalism: Who Owns the Economy and Who Pays for It? by Brett Christophers Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher New episodes are published in essay form every Thursday at explorewhatworks.com.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending January 14th, 2023… the good news about inflation, a few new potentially hot real estate markets, and the recent surge in U.S. population growth.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news from this past week, and good news about inflation. For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, consumer prices were down. The Labor Department reports that the Consumer Price Index fell .1% in December. The decline brings the annual rate of inflation down from 7.1% to 6.5%. It was up as high as 9.1% last summer. The core rate of inflation is considered a more accurate gauge of inflation because it eliminates food and gas prices which can be volatile. That rate was down .3% to a core rate of 5.7%. (1)   The December reading is proof that inflation is subsiding, and is giving economists hope that the Federal Reserve will back off on the rate hike gas pedal. Senior economist Dean Baker at the Center for Economic and Policy Research says: “It's time for the Fed to declare victory and stop the rate hikes!”   But in general, economists don't think that will happen. Instead, they are predicting the Fed will go easy on the rate hikes with a quarter point hike at their meeting on February 1st, and possibly another quarter point hike in March. That would bring the Federal Funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%. What happens next might be too far off to predict, but economists at the CME Group are forecasting a pause followed by a half point rate cut later this year. (2)   The job market continues to show strength. New claims for unemployment benefits were down last week to 205,000. That's a 1,000 claim drop from the week before. Wall Street economists had expected a 10,000 claim increase. There were also 63,000 fewer continuing claims for a total of 1.63 million people collecting unemployment benefits. (3)   Consumers are feeling much more confident about the economy. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index jumped from 59.7 to 64.6 in December. That's still far from a peak of 88.3 in April of 2021, but it's a big improvement over recent levels. (4)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates swung lower last week. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage was down 15 basis points to 6.33%. The 15-year was down 21 points to 5.52%. (5) And they could be heading lower. Economist Nadia Evangelou of the National Association of Realtors believes the 30-year will dip below 6% in the near future, and will likely stabilize in the 5% range for the rest of the year. (6)   In other news making headlines…   Rent Growth Is Slowing Down   Renters are expected to gain some bargaining power in 2023 as rent growth slows, and the vacancy rate rises. According to ApartmentList, the national median rent growth was 3.8% last year, and it's  expected to slow further this year. The report shows that 90 of the nation's 100 largest cities saw an end-of-the-year decline for apartment rents with a vacancy rate of 5.9%. (7)   But not all markets are created equal. The Sun Belt markets have experienced phenomenal growth over the past few years. According to some analysts, they may have hit a growth peak, with cities like Tampa and Tucson gaining almost 40% in rent growth. Although demand is still driving those markets, Apartment List expects more affordable cities in the Midwest to attract attention this year. It says that during the last six months, the top three cities for growth were the Midwestern cities of Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Oklahoma City.   North Texas Popularity   Universal Studios is also recognizing North Texas as a strong growth market, with the announcement of a new theme park. It plans on building a 97-acre theme park in Frisco, Texas, where the population has almost doubled from 117,000 in 2010 to more than 200,000 in 2020. Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney said in a statement: “Frisco is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. and has been recognized as a great place to plant professional roots and raise a family.” (8)   Frisco is part of an area north of Dallas that is attracting technology companies, including several large chip-making facilities. That's creating tens of thousands of jobs, and a strong demand for housing. This is why we started our Texas Single Family Rental Fund – to help investors capitalize on the growth in this area.

According to Census Bureau data, it hit an historically low birth rate of .16% between 2020 and 2021. And then it went into overdrive, and jumped to .38% from 2021 to 2022. That growth spurt added about 1.25 million people to the population roster for a total of 333 million.    Florida was the fastest growing state with a growth rate of 1.91%. It also had the second largest numerical increase of 416,000. Texas was first on that list with about 470,000 more people. Both Texas and California have the largest populations in the nation with more than 30 million people each.   That's it for today. Check the show notes for links.

The Fed recently announced aggressive interest rate hikes and is signaling more to come. Its goal? To stabilize the economy amid surging inflation (reaching rates not seen in some 40 years) and lingering supply chain disruptions and shortages. But can the Fed actually manage a so-called "soft landing"?     Arguing "yes" is Dean Baker. Arguing "no" is Yeva Nersisyan. Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is the U.S. economy hurtling toward a recession? Dean Baker, an economist and co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in D.C., thinks it all boils down to just how aggressive the Federal Reserve will be. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates again later this week. On today's “Post Reports,” we examine the factors that could lead to a recession — and we ask what Americans can do to prepare if it happens.
