Economist & co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, criticizes the Big Beautiful Bill and tariffs as policies that harm the American Economy and the working class.Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://politicsdoneright.com/newsletterPurchase our Books: As I See It: https://amzn.to/3XpvW5o How To Make AmericaUtopia: https://amzn.to/3VKVFnG It's Worth It: https://amzn.to/3VFByXP Lose Weight And BeFit Now: https://amzn.to/3xiQK3K Tribulations of anAfro-Latino Caribbean man: https://amzn.to/4c09rbE

Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), delivered a scathing analysis of Trump's economic policies, revealing how the “Big Beautiful Bill” and tariff strategy constitute a massive upward redistribution of wealth disguised as populist measures. Baker argued that the legislation primarily benefits wealthy elites while imposing regressive taxes on working-class Americans through tariffs that will cost families thousands annually.* Healthcare Catastrophe: Baker warned that the legislation will strip healthcare from 12-17 million Americans while claiming to save $800 billion, creating a healthcare crisis that will devastate working families and close hospitals in vulnerable communities.* Upward Redistribution Disguised as Populism: Baker exposed how Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” delivers massive tax cuts to the wealthy while offering minimal benefits to working people through gimmicky measures like tax-free tips and overtime that help few Americans in practice.* Tariffs as Regressive Taxation: The economist demonstrated how tariffs function as a deeply regressive tax that disproportionately hits low- and moderate-income families, who spend larger portions of their income on goods subject to tariffs rather than services.* Media Complicity in Class Warfare: Baker identified systematic media bias that favors wealthy interests, explaining how reporters face pressure when covering stories that challenge the rich but encounter no pushback for content that serves elite interests.* Manufacturing Job Quality Decline: The analysis revealed how trade deals destroyed unionized manufacturing jobs, with union membership in manufacturing dropping from 30% in 1980 to just 8% today, making current manufacturing jobs no longer particularly well-paying.Baker's analysis exposes the fundamental deception underlying Trump's economic agenda, revealing how populist rhetoric masks a brutal assault on working-class Americans. The economist's work demonstrates that the “Big Beautiful Bill” represents perhaps the most cynical example of class warfare in modern American politics, using the language of economic nationalism to advance policies that systematically transfer wealth from workers to the wealthy.

In this episode you'll hear all about:* What the recent jobs numbers actually say, and how do they gel with other recent data;* Sydney Sweeney;* Why data pointing to a slowdown, if not a contraction, fits the facts of Trump's erratic agenda;* The bull and the bear theories of the case: Could the economy somehow continue growing despite all this? Would Trump be freaking out like this if he thought the economy was firing on all cylinders?Then, behind the paywall, is a recession the sort of thing Trump could even theoretically bullshit his way out of? Or would reality break through? What would a “recession coverup” attempt actually look like, given the complexity of the data? And what's Trump likely to do if and when his excuses and lies stop selling?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian on why Trump's reaction to the jobs report is of a piece with broader signs that he and his administration are spiraling.* Matt notes Argentina's recent economic successes are attributable to Javier Milei's decision to abandon an unworkable agenda.* Dean Baker breaks down why the jobs news is so bad.

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.

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. Our roundtable discusses these trends, along w/ several other important economic factors—including the impact of two wars-- before moving to thoughts about AI and where we are as a country with economic inequality.

Welcome to my new Series "Can you talk real quick?" This is a short, efficiently produced conversation with someone who knows stuff about things that are happening and who will let me record a quick chat to help us all better understand an issue in the news or our lives as well as connect with each other around something that might be unfolding in real time.  Today I zoomed up with my favorite economist Dean Baker to talk about the Federal reserve announcement that it won't raise interest rates for the first time in over a year and we also discussed his recent piece on the impact AI will have on the future economy. Read his piece about that here  Dean Baker co-founded CEPR in 1999. His areas of research include housing and macroeconomics, intellectual property, Social Security, Medicare and European labor markets. He is the author of several books, including Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy Were Structured to Make the Rich Richer. His blog, “Beat the Press,” provides commentary on economic reporting. He received his B.A. from Swarthmore College and his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Michigan. His analyses have appeared in many major publications, including the Atlantic Monthly, the Washington Post, the London Financial Times, and the New York Daily News. Dean has written several books including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People (with Jared Bernstein, Center for Economic and Policy Research 2013), The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive (Center for Economic and Policy Research 2011), Taking Economics Seriously (MIT Press 2010) which thinks through what we might gain if we took the ideological blinders off of basic economic principles; and False Profits: Recovering from the Bubble Economy (PoliPoint Press 2010) about what caused — and how to fix — the current economic crisis. In 2009, he wrote Plunder and Blunder: The Rise and Fall of the Bubble Economy (PoliPoint Press), which chronicled the growth and collapse of the stock and housing bubbles and explained how policy blunders and greed led to the catastrophic — but completely predictable — market meltdowns. He also wrote a chapter (“From Financial Crisis to Opportunity”) in Thinking Big: Progressive Ideas for a New Era (Progressive Ideas Network 2009). His previous books include The United States Since 1980 (Cambridge University Press 2007); The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer (Center for Economic and Policy Research 2006), and Social Security: The Phony Crisis (with Mark Weisbrot, University of Chicago Press 1999). His book Getting Prices Right: The Debate Over the Consumer Price Index (editor, M.E. Sharpe 1997) was a winner of a Choice Book Award as one of the outstanding academic books of the year. Among his numerous articles are “The Benefits of a Financial Transactions Tax,” Tax Notes Vol. 121, No. 4 (2008); “Are Protective Labor Market Institutions at the Root of Unemployment? A Critical Review of the Evidence,” (with David R. Howell, Andrew Glyn, and John Schmitt), Capitalism and Society Vol. 2, No. 1 (2007); “Asset Returns and Economic Growth,” (with Brad DeLong and Paul Krugman), Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (2005); “Financing Drug Research: What Are the Issues,” Center for Economic and Policy Research (2004); “Medicare Choice Plus: The Solution to the Long-Term Deficit Problem,” Center for Economic and Policy Research (2004); The Benefits of Full Employment (also with Jared Bernstein), Economic Policy Institute (2004); “Professional Protectionists: The Gains From Free Trade in Highly Paid Professional Services,” Center for Economic and Policy Research (2003); and “The Run-Up in Home Prices: Is It Real or Is It Another Bubble,” Center for Economic and Policy Research (2002).

It's our periodic deep dive into the economy, with a killer group of commentators—Dean Baker, Paul Krugman, & Stephanie Ruhle. 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. Are the current landscape & immediate horizon as encouraging as they appear, or are we overlooking big warning signs? We also tie the economy into the political scene and broader crazy era we're living through.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
