So again, we love capitalism.

We want markets.

We think markets are the right way to organize an economy.

We want them to work well.

And what that means is there's actually a lot of things we need them to do besides just give us access to cheap stuff.

And one of the most important is be generating jobs in the places where people live.

aligned to the kinds of things they can do that allow them to support families.

We're all the way back to the Adam Smith invisible hand thing again.

Are the things that are happening in our economy the kinds of things that generate that outcome?

And economics formally is just completely blind to that.

Well, that's right.

The financialization, it reflects a market where the incentives are not to do that.

Economics as a field of analysis just doesn't really have a way to measure that, right?

So when you see GDP go up –

That doesn't tell you anything about whether it is going up in a way that supports those things or not.

If I may make a respectful point regarding the left at this moment.

ESG, the idea that we do need to care about things besides profit is very important.

One of the most unfortunate elements of ESG was that it said the things that we therefore really need to concentrate on more are essentially the progressive agenda, right?

So there was a very heavy focus on climate change.

And what are you doing to reduce climate change?
