Full Stack Economics

I'll always be grateful to @AlanMCole for spending the last year building @fullstackecon with me. I am looking forward to seeing what Alan does in his new gig. This is not the end of @fullstackecon—it'll continue as a solo project. fullstackeconomics.com

@JimmySteier Thanks!

Excellent compilation @fullstackecon ! fullstackeconomics.com/24-charts-that…

Friday Short Stack ($) Sorry, the Tiktok Pool Girl has a real job, and so do you! The Graeberite theories about fake jobs are conspiratorial nonsense. fullstackeconomics.com/short-stack-ii…

"The precedents set in 2020 seemed to pave the way for more corporate commentary on social policy than before. And that commentary⁠—for a variety of reasons⁠—tended to lean left of the median voter." fullstackeconomics.com/how-republican…

This overview of how the GOP turned against corporate management by @AlanMCole is really good. fullstackeconomics.com/how-republican…

Republican efforts against corporate activism are here to stay, says @AlanMCole. They follow a real change in sentiment among Republican voters. And they are likely to focus on empowering right-of-center shareholders against left-of-center management. fullstackeconomics.com/how-republican…
