After the elections, I started asking congressional Democrats the same question: If the elections had gone the other way, if they had won a trifecta, what would be their first big bill? In almost every case, they said they didn't know. That's a problem.Democrats are in the opposition now. That means fighting the worst of what Trump is doing. But it also means providing an alternative. So one thing I'm going to do this year is talk to Democrats who are trying to find that alternative — an agenda that meets the challenges of the moment, not just one carried from the past.Representative Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts is the first up to bat. We spoke in January, so we don't cover the latest Trump news. The conversation is really focused on his ideas, and he has a lot of interesting ones — about the abundance agenda, the attention economy and how Democrats should talk about policy during a second Trump term. I don't necessarily agree with every idea he offers, but he's definitely wrestling with that question I posed to other Democrats: What is your alternative?This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“The Problem With Everything-Bagel Liberalism” by Ezra KleinBook Recommendations:“How Mathematics Built the Modern World” by Bo Malmberg and Hannes MalmbergRadical Markets by Eric A.

Andy and Anthony read and comment on the entirety of a recent article on the early history of Magic and it's creator's struggles with the game. The article, including quotes from an interview with Richard Garfield, explores his complex relationship to his creation. It explores his perspective on games, and why he values them. Since it's first publication, Richard has struggled to re-create the experiences he found most valuable from the pre-publication version.

Today I talked to Eric Posner about his book How Antitrust Failed Workers (Oxford UP, 2021). When anti-trust cases are brought forward, typically they involve monopolies exercising undue power in regards to products or services. Rarely do labor issues get the same treatment. Reasons vary from the previous power of unions, to the expense and risk of going to trial, to whether the potential for unfair, uncompetitive practices get scrutinized at all. Posner points in this episode to why the laws may need strengthening. Issues include stagnant wages, and the use and abuse of non-poaching, non-complete and arbitration clauses in the contracts that workers sign. Add in the practice of gig workers and rising inequality issues related to household wealth, and you can't find a more timely topic than this one. Eric Posner is a professor of Law at the University of Chicago. He's currently on leave and working for the Anti-Trust Division of the U.S. Justice Department. (Note that his views do not necessarily reflect those of the Justice Department.) Two previous books by Posner were each separately chosen as a book of the year in 2018, one by The Economist and the other by The Financial Times.

Farmland has transformed into a financial asset class. So, what happens when land is owned by large financial institutions? How does it impact farmer autonomy? And could it be good for fighting climate change? Dr. Madeleine Fairbairn is Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at UC Santa Cruz and author of Fields of Gold: Financing the Global Land Rush. On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Dr. Fairbairn joins Ross and guest cohost Dr. Lauren Gifford to discuss the emergence of the institutional farmland investments industry and describe how land has value independent of what it produces. Dr. Fairbairn explores what's behind the steep decline in the number of farmers over the last century and explains how large-scale farmland ownership could have positive consequences for the environment and negative social consequences at the same time.

Digging a Hole: The Legal Theory Podcast

With the end of Donald Trump's presidency potentially imminent, debates have begun about how to reform American politics—and the powers of the executive branch in America's constitutional system. On this episode, we speak with Jack Goldsmith, professor of law at Harvard University, who recently coauthored After Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency. In this episode, he discusses his vision for reforms that should—and possibly could—be used to reform the presidency after Donald Trump. A leading conservative in the legal academy, Goldsmith also talks to us about the medium- to long-term evolution of right-of-center legal arguments about the presidency.

Most leftist political views of the climate crisis lean toward natural solutions like reforestation and regenerative ag. But if we’re serious about taking action at the necessary scale before it’s too late, Dr. Holly Jean Buck argues that we have to consider ALL available solutions, including carbon capture technology and geoengineering. She comes at the issue from the Critical Left, advocating for the thoughtful use of industrial tech to reverse climate change.   Dr. Buck is a postdoctoral research fellow at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the author of After Geoengineering: Climate Tragedy, Repair and Restoration. On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Dr. Buck joins Ross to discuss how her take on climate solutions differs from traditional left-leaning views, explaining the aspects of geoengineering that should be in the hands of the people and the risks associated with Nori’s premise of treating carbon as a commodity.   Dr. Buck weighs in on why people are skeptical of industrial solutions to climate change and why she believes state involvement is key in removing carbon at scale. Listen in for insight into the pros and cons of policy solutions to climate change and learn why the Critical Left needs to take carbon capture technology seriously.   Key Takeaways   [3:12] What inspired Dr. Buck to write After Geoengineering Present choices for removing large amounts of carbon Seat at table re: how we use tech should be deployed   [4:46] What aspects of geoengineering should be in the hands of the people Physical ownership of assets, infrastructure (including land) Financial flows Algorithms/information used to make decisions   [8:18] The risks around treating carbon as a commodity Must consider who’s producing and who’s buying Danger of minimizing other things that matter   [10:57] How Dr. Buck thinks about the buyer’s side of a carbon market Private jet for pleasure vs. wind turbine industry State involvement to allocate determine quotas   [15:26] Why people aren’t talking about radical solutions Uncanny fear of tampering with nature via nuclear power Little research on effects of solar radiation management   [19:20] Why Dr. Buck is skeptical of fossil fuel companies leading drawdown Use environmental organizations for incentives Support shareholders over environmental protection Need plan for phasing out fossil fuels worldwide   [28:08] Why people are suspicious of industrial climate solutions Allows industries that harmed people to continue Gives control of resources to unknown big actors  Fear of unintended consequences of technology   [37:54] The pros and cons policy solutions to climate change Makes VC investment in carbon removal tech possible Difficult to pass or change (market approach nimble)   [40:46] How Dr. Buck thinks about the mission of Nori See as platform vs. market, bring buyers + sellers together Would rather see government solution but Nori not threat   [45:16] A Critical Left take on Nori Opposed to treating carbon as commodity Pro open-source logic   [49:12] Dr. Buck’s insight around reasonable criticisms of her work Too optimistic to believe in responsible solar geoengineering research Discussing strategies like solar geoengineering legitimizes tactic Carbon removal enables business as usual (same old offsets) No cause for optimism that radical social reorganization possible   [51:34] Why the Critical Left should take industrial solutions seriously Moral obligation to use available tech to reduce harm Involves geological sequestration + clean energy Scale requires government to play central role in progress Closing window of opportunity to shape tech as evolves   Connect with Ross   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   VERGE 19 After Geoengineering: Climate Tragedy, Repair, and Restoration by Holly Jean Buck Reversapalooza Dr. Buck’s Article in Jacobin  Water Markets on RCC EP096 Ted Nordhaus on RCC EP098  ‘The Empty Radicalism of the Climate Apocalypse’ by Ted Nordhaus 45Q Legislation Green New Deal Jeremy Corbyn The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells Climate Wars: What People Will Be Killed for in the 21st Century by Harald Welzer Sunrise Movement Extinction Rebellion Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming edited by Paul Hawken Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World by Anand Giridharadas The Fable of the Bees Books by Adam Greenfield Granular Radical Markets by Eric A.
