Abstract I briefly lay out the case for expeditious establishment of a National Investment Authority (NIA) or National Investment Council (NIC) of the kinds I have advocated for some years now, or of a National Health Corporation (NHC) such as Jamie Galbraith and Michael Lind have advocated in in the midst of the 2020 COVID pandemic. National investment both in pandemic response and in productive capacity more generally, I argue, present challenges in the nature of classic collective action problems, which require permanent means of regularized collective agency to address. The NHC, NIC, and NIA are successively more ambitious such means, at least one of which must be commenced as expeditiously as possible.

Abstract An accounting convention misleads the public about the effects of Social Security and Medicare on the federal budget. This should be adjusted, argues the author.

Abstract As of this writing, the Trump Administration has blocked a proposed new allocation of the unique reserve asset issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), called the Special Drawing Right (SDR). The proposal has widespread support around the world because it can help ease the financial burden of addressing the Covid-19 pandemic in developing countries and the economic collapse that accompanies it. Moreover, SDRs that sit idle in the reserves of rich countries can be used to financially support developing countries through multilateral institutions. In this way, fiscally strapped donor countries can significantly increase their support for development assistance. However, SDRs are quite esoteric and it seems that the case for a new allocation may be strengthened through a better understanding of what is involved, which is the aim of this paper.

Abstract For more than four decades, free market policies and ideology–Neoliberalism, aka, Washington Consensus or Market Fundamentalism–have reshaped the US and global economic system. A naive reading of the virtues of Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” resulted in the lifting of constraints imposed during the 1930s on US financial institutions and markets. The decision to embrace neoliberal practices has been politically determined; it is not a natural state. The originator of neoliberal thought, Friedrich von Hayek, reportedly stated that he would prioritize “free markets” over democratic freedoms and human rights (as the ultimate expression of “freedom”).1 We will show that the verdict of these policies has “failed the marketplace test” when viewed from the vantage point of the median wage-earner.
四十多年来，自由市场政策和意识形态——新自由主义，又称华盛顿共识或市场原教旨主义——重塑了美国和全球经济体系。对亚当•斯密(Adam Smith)“看不见的手”(invisible hand)优点的天真解读，解除了上世纪30年代对美国金融机构和市场施加的限制。接受新自由主义实践的决定是由政治决定的;这不是一种自然状态。据报道，新自由主义思想的创始人弗里德里希·冯·哈耶克(Friedrich von Hayek)表示，他将把“自由市场”置于民主自由和人权之上(作为“自由”的终极表达)我们将证明，从中等收入者的角度来看，这些政策的判决“未能通过市场测试”。
