the AI bubble popping will also be a reckoning for passive investing,
index funds and ETFs. there are a lot of people out there with no idea that market cap-weighting means 8% of their 401k is in NVDA.

The California Legislature passed a state budget today that relies more on borrowing than spending cuts to close a projected $12 billion deficit, aiming to push off difficult decisions about priorities even as that gap is only expected to grow in future years. cal.news/4la8P7A

If the problem is capitalism, then the solution is to assert democratic control over the economy. If the problem is liberalism, then the problem is the possibility of democratic control itself.

Very humbled to be reviewed by Fred Block alongside @itsmccarthy.bsky.social in @dissentmag.bsky.social!
Fred Block reviewed The Master's Tools for @dissentmag.bsky.social. He contrasts my book, which identifies radical forms of economic democracy as the solution to our political crisis, with another, which argues such democracy is an impossibility. In typical form, he has interesting things to say!
