** Economy Remix: Envisioning a More Just World after Neoliberalism
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Welcome to the Remix, as we take our latest spin around the economy. In this Remix column ([link removed]) , I look at what a positive future after globalization might look like.

That may seem like an audacious step to take on at a time when movements are faced with seemingly endless defensive battles. But as the saying goes, you can’t defeat something with nothing. In short, creating a positive “something” is an essential task.

To do this requires understanding how we got here.

In 2025, tariffs and trade wars are all over the news. But while it would be easy to show the foolishness of President Donald Trump’s tariff proposals, that’s not the focus here. Instead, I highlight two real problems that have affected the US economy—namely, the hollowing out of the US manufacturing base and an enormous shift of income from workers to owners of capital that has occurred over the past two decades.

This is the present context that must be kept in mind as advocates seek to advance—rather than retard—racial and economic justice.

Internationally, this requires a democratic globalization from below that sets fair trading standards. Fair trade, meaning ensuring that workers earn fair wages and have safe working conditions regardless of their home country, is hardly a new idea, but it needs to become a higher movement priority. Clearly, allowing the nearly frictionless movement of capital while restricting the movement of people shifts power from labor to capital and helps entrench racial and economic injustice. This must be reversed.

Domestically, this means not just pursuing a more progressive social contract of public supports, although that goal certainly is important, but also adopting a broader vision of a solidarity economy and thinking through questions of who has the authority to make change. This means empowering people to act by boosting tools like cooperatives that allow ordinary people to combine capital on their behalf and empowering people to come together in the workplace through unions. The New Deal did this in the United States in the 1930s and there are lessons there for what could happen should the current Trump regime be stopped in the United States.

So, in reading this article ([link removed]) , I invite you to join me in considering the far from trivial task of how to advance economic and racial justice in a post-neoliberal world.

Until the next Remix column, I remain
