Democrats need a post-populist economics
By Will Marshall
President and Founder of PPI
For The Hill ([link removed])

[link removed]
It’s been 15 years since the 2008 financial meltdown plunged America into the Great Recession. Our economy has bounced back, but the populist fury the crisis ignited has yet to burn itself out.

It manifests itself on the far left and right as general hostility to big business and, more recently, to Big Tech in particular. Fortunately, the populists’ reckless drive to break up America’s most innovative and globally competitive enterprises seems to be sputtering.

The left can win and forge a new settlement – but only if it repairs the trust we have lost
By Claire Ainsely
Director of the Project on Center-Left Renewal
For The New Statesman ([link removed])

[link removed]
Britain could hardly have had a less trustworthy leader than Boris Johnson, and it is tempting to see untrustworthiness as an individual failing, one that can be rectified by a person of greater character. Having worked closely with him, I have no doubt Keir Starmer possesses the integrity that the office of prime minister demands. But a search for the ideal politician can only end in disappointment. And it misses the deep crisis of trust in modern democracies.
