Excellent work by Lyman Stone and collaborators coming out of a CES Convening on housing supported by @Arnold_Ventures. Have a read!
Make sure to read @yuenyuenang’s essay "Polytunity", which offers a powerful reframe of our current moment beyond “polycrisis.”
3 Highlights:
1. Reframes “polycrisis” as “polytunity.”
2. AIM paradigm
3. Challenges the industrial-colonial paradigm.

For Labor Day, @Road_To_Now podcast re-aired a great conversation with CES’s @louishyman on how the American Dream became temporary. Lou’s insights into the history of temp work, labor markets & inequality feel especially timely as we reflect on the meaning of work in the US.
CES and @SNFAgora Professor Henry Farrell and Georgetown’s Abraham Newman discuss the “weaponized works economy” in Foreign Affairs. Listen to them on the FA’s Interview podcast: youtu.be/F_NqZJJg26M?si=WxrO…
“The problem for the United States is that the Trump administration is gutting the very resources that it needs to advance U.S. interests and protect against countermoves,” write Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman.

🌟 The MPE major featured in @JohnsHopkins HUB! @SNFAgoraJHU
"Our new major teaches students to consider urgent problems...in the social, economic, moral, political, and historical contexts in which they emerged and exist." says @miss_glory

🌟 Also in the spotlight is our DUS @simondhalliday and his course on the economics of the workplace:
"We're reading research that spans economics, business, and public policy, and we're looking at experiments that draw insight and tools from sociology and psychology."
Why do we use GDP rather than GNP as an index of richness, and what's the difference? 🤔
