One estimate is that the long-term nature of military operations and their spreading to other regions of Ukraine may cause a large number of those who left the country—many of working age—to choose never to return.

To offer a simple overview of how the two fields relate: labor law governs the conduct of employers inside their firm boundaries, while antitrust is the body of law and regulation governing how firms behave in markets and how firms relate to each other. 9 How legally distinct firms interact is of paramount importance to the well-being of workers and the power of organized labor.

an average of 304 large strikes, involving more than 1.4 million workers, each year. But after Reagan signaled open season on union-busting, the plunge in strikes was stag-gering. In just ten years after PATCO, the number of annual strikes fell by 71 percent, to just eighty-seven strikes a year, involving on average 446,000 workers. In the final decade of the twentieth century, there was an average of merely thirty-four strikes, involving less than 300,000 workers, per year. And from 2010 to 2022, there have been only fifteen strikes each year, involving 131,000 workers on average. 2

Which country burns more than half of the world’s coal on an annual basis but is lauded as a “climate champion”? Answer: China. Which country is deploying wind and solar energy faster than any other country and is often depicted as a heinous climate villain? Answer: China. In October 1939, Winston Churchill described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” What, then, are we to say about China’s climate record? The main story up front is this: there is no riddle, nothing enigmatic or mysterious, about China’s climate policy. China is not a climate champion; neither is it a climate villain. For almost forty years, China has been a “capitalist roader.” It burns coal like there is no tomorrow. But it currently deploys renewable energy at levels that suggest it is perhaps far more concerned about tomorrow than some of its industrial competitors— including the United States.
