Due to Elon Musk's transformation of Twitter/X into a platform for extremism, misinformation, and MAGA propoganda, I am no longer posting here. You can find me instead on BlueSky and LinkedIn.

For years, CEOs have sold a story that a $15 minimum wage would kill jobs. The Washington establishment bought this trickle-down lie, and workers paid the price. But the evidence debunks that myth. It's long past time to raise the minimum wage.

.@NickHanauer and @EricBeinhocker argue that capitalism can be saved, provided there’s a radical makeover of what a capitalist economy should achieve. @Anne_S_Kim writes. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

The economy is not a law of nature. It’s a set of rules. @NickHanauer and @EricBeinhocker joined @monthly editor Anne Kim to talk Market Humanism — and how to build markets that serve people, not capital. 40+ years of “greed is good” economics failed. washingtonmonthly.substack.c…

Minimum-wage increases were expected to kill jobs ➟ the fact that they didn’t should make us rethink a lot of assumptions @NickHanauer & @EricBeinhocker write for @TheAtlantic on economic paradigm change @oxpolicyengaged @oxmartinschool @BlavatnikSchool theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

“The iron law that said raising wages kills jobs is dead. The evidence killed it. What remains is to bury the paradigm that kept it alive—and to rebuild the country it broke,” @NickHanauer and @EricBeinhocker write: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Can a new economic system repair our broken democracy? @NickHanauer and @EricBeinhocker think so. They lay out their vision in this new piece. democracyjournal.org/magazin…

Trickle-downers told us that raising wages kills jobs, tax cuts for the rich create growth & inequality is the price of prosperity. After 50 years, the evidence says otherwise. @NickHanauer & @EricBeinhocker explain Market Humanism in @TheAtlantic ⬇️ bit.ly/49j7k3n

Some comments from myself on Brian's retirement: I do want to highlight just one major intellectual impact of Brian's work. For a long time in the economics community, inequality was viewed as a kind of state of nature, a natural outcome of market forces. Our late colleague Sir Tony Atkinson once said that prominent economists used to tell him that inequality is ‘not an economic problem’. It might be a social problem, or a political problem, but not an economic problem; and that distributional outcomes simply reflect market forces at work. What Brian’s more than a decade of very careful, rigorous, comparative work has conclusively shown is that inequality is not just a natural outcome of market forces, it is a choice. That countries facing very similar technological, trade, and other economic forces can have very different distributional outcomes depending on their policies, how they structure their labour markets, and other institutional choices that shape their economies.
