Wise words from @DianeCoyle1859 and @GaneshSitaraman
"Industrial strategy is about thinking long term: which sectors, which tools are you going to use to sustain livelihoods, production, value creation in the future?" -Diane Coyle
@RanaForoohar discusses the return of industrial strategy, state capacity, and the big tech monopolies with @GaneshSitaraman and @DianeCoyle1859 at #BeyondNeoliberalism.

More opportunities for those unable to attend #BeyondNeoliberalism conference in Cambridge to dip into the rich conversations happening there. Jen Harris @jennifermharris up now...
Yes, agreed, a very insightful set of reflections on our conference, and a guide to dilemmas confronting social democrats as they chart a path through a post-neoliberal world
Essential reading from Colm Murphy for
@RenewalJournal (in the week of our re-launch): renewal.org.uk/blog/the-choi…
Good discussion of 'soft left' tensions that are generally overlooked.
Another terrific clip from the Cambridge #BeyondNeoliberalism conference 29-31 May
"A capacious state is not the state that dominates private markets; it's the state that knows how to direct and shape those markets in a way that would benefit everybody in the long run.” - Saule Omarova

@RanaForoohar's sober assessment of the postneoliberalism agenda based on the #beyondneoliberalism conference in the @FT
@GaneshSitaraman: “Forty years of neoliberalism have created a powerful group of corporations and individuals who represent a kind of civil oligopoly that is very difficult to challenge.”
@glgerstle: "No progressive movement can succeed without restoring popular faith in the positive uses of government. That restoration, much discussed at our Cambridge conference, has become, perhaps, the central progressive political challenge of our time."

My latest swamp note with respondent Professor Gary Gerstle! on.ft.com/3Zguy5b
Thank you @RanaForoohar and participants in the #BeyondNeoliberalism conference for such a stimulating series or discussions across three days. Stay tuned for more clips and posts from the conference.
@glgerstle: "How do we generate enthusiasm for a market-shaping popular politics?"
It was a thrill to discuss #BeyondNeoliberalism with @RanaForoohar to launch our conference
Thank you, Marshall, @makosloff, for giving us an opportunity on your podcast to preview some of the key issues arising at our neoliberalism conference.
@glgerstle and I joined @makosloff on @RealignmentPod for an excellent discussion on the Beyond Neoliberalism conference we co-organized at Cambridge to envision pathways to a new political and economic order. the-realignment.simplecast.c…

What the hell was Smoot-Hawley (1930) and how did it shape American politics and international trade? How does that political moment illuminate the Trump tariff moment? David Runciman and I range far and wide in this PastPresentFuture discussion. ppfideas.com/episodes/ideas-…
For those in the Boston area who may be interested: I will be talking to a Cambridge America group on the power and chaos of Trump 2.0 during its First Hundred Days. All welcome!
