Today, President Biden signed an executive order <[link removed]> that aims to promote competition in the US economy and increase antitrust enforcement.



Few expected policies like this, or the historic care and climate proposals in the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan, from President Joe Biden.



In a New York Magazine feature, Rebecca Traister describes <[link removed]> the progressive scholars, thought leaders, and organizers, who helped make this moment possible—including Roosevelters, alumni, and allies.



It’s a “once-in-a-lifetime paradigm shift in economic thinking,” as Roosevelt President and CEO Felicia Wong told Traister. 



Wong expands on Traister’s piece for the Roosevelt blog with adeep dive <[link removed]>into some of the ideas fueling the moment.



“What we want is better rules,” Wong writes. “Rules that acknowledge there’s no such thing as a ‘free’ market because government structures our most basic economic interactions.”



“To create a new, more democratic economy, we must continue building new and stronger alliances and institutions.... The people and the relationships matter, and they’ve brought us to an unprecedented moment of opportunity.”
