In Philadelphia, @DarrickHamilton joined @AssetFunders to discuss how policies like Baby Bonds and guaranteed income can move from bold ideas to durable public infrastructure and expand people’s power, wealth, and economic agency.

If a firm's AI customer-service chatbot gives false information, traps customers in doom loops, or fails to actually help, that firm may be violating the law.
A new brief from the Center for Law & the Economy's @stephtngu and @BorrowerJustice's Adam Teitelbaum explains the various laws that apply when businesses outsource customer service to AI chatbots.
This is the first in a series explaining how existing laws apply to AI: law-and-economy.law.columbia…

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

A savings account only goes so far if families don’t have resources to save.
Rep. @AyannaPressley and Dr. @DarrickHamilton discuss the racial wealth gap, Trump Accounts, and how Baby Bonds differ by directly seeding wealth for young people.

A common-good economy has to give people real power over their lives.
At the Henry Cohen Lecture, @DarrickHamilton, joined by Mariana Mazzucato, Natalie Diaz, and Julie Su, reflected on the role of government, worker power, and agency in shaping an economy that works for people.

The Senate votes TOMORROW on the Protect College Sports Act. It’s a bill written by and for the bosses to put new obstacles in the way for athletes organizing a union. Senators should stand with them and vote NO.

I’m excited to launch my new report, State Transformation for Plan México, co-authored with @LaraMerling , at @UNAM_MX tomorrow.
At the heart of Plan México is a vision of prosperidad compartida — raising investment, expanding domestic productive capacity and ensuring that growth is shared across people, sectors and territories.
The report focuses on building the economic and institutional architecture needed to support the direction set by the Mexican government: turning this ambition into a new, more inclusive sustainable path to growth.

A person in City custody died yesterday evening following a court appearance in Queens. Department of Correction staff performed CPR until emergency medical services arrived to take him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
I extend my condolences to his family.
In line with standard practice, the DOC and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances of his death.

The K-shaped economy is widening the gap between those with greater wealth and those struggling to keep up.

Anti-fascist Economics is coming to Sweden!
Har skrivit, med utgångspunkt i Isabella Webers kommande Anti-Fascist Economics, om varför kampen mot extremhögern börjar i mataffären och varför det inte räcker att bara varna för SD.
När demokratin slutar uppfattas som kapabel att påverka människors vardagsliv får ytterhögern monopol på att ha handlingskraft.

The Common Good Economy is published in Spain next month as Bien Común: Una nueva economía que funcione para todos. I'll be in Spain for the launch from 4 to 6 October, stay tuned for events.
Pere Rusiñol writes about the book, and about what a serious progressive alternative in economics requires, for @RevistaAlterEco.

Vulgar diplomacy is reprehensible…what’s more it will weaken the dollar and it is bad for our economy. US against the world is largely a slogan and a losing proposition.

What would it mean to build an economy around the common good: one that we actively shape together?
Join me at @TheNewSchool in New York for the launch of my new book, The Common Good Economy, in conversation with Prof @DarrickHamilton and Natalie Diaz.
