We live in strange times. In the last week, I have encountered a couple of articles that gave me pause about the state of the debate about capitalism—at least for a moment. If you had told me a few weeks ago that I would be eagerly reading articles that make important points about capitalism, I would accept that with some interest mixed with some hesitation. If you added that the articles in question featured insights of a member of Congress who proudly claims membership in the Democratic Socialists of America and a Nobel Prize winning economist with firm roots in New Keynesianism and Behavioral Economics, I’d probably have been gobsmacked at the thought. As I said, these are strange times.
