Latest / Pitchfork Economics with Nick Hanauer
Why do we call it pitchfork economics? (with Ganesh Sitaraman and Walter Scheidel)
In 2014, venture capitalist Nick Hanauer warned his fellow plutocrats that our growing crisis of economic inequality would lead to an uprising or a dictatorship. Two years later, angry voters elected Donald Trump. In this inaugural episode of Pitchfork Economics, we explore why the pitchforks are coming, who they’re coming for, and how the stories we tell about the economy can change the economy itself.
