The Middle Out

In "The Middle Out," political journalist Michael Tomasky explores the resurgence of progressive economics that challenges long-standing neoliberal ideals. Tracing the historical evolution from Keynesian principles to the rise of conservative dogma, he highlights how recent research by today's progressive economists debunks myths surrounding free markets and advocates for a capitalism that prioritizes the middle class. By emphasizing the need for government support in fostering broadly shared prosperity, this alternative economic vision offers a hopeful path toward a more just and equitable American future.
