The VP has more important things to focus on rather than appeasing someone by responding to calls that aren't a priority.

There were plenty of opportunities for Warren to reach out and "explain" her comments. It's not that difficult to get in touch with the VP, especially if you claim to be an ally.

I'm not an "-ism"-ist. If anything, I'm a hybridist -- right tool for right job. But my point is I am not saying any of this to advocate some specific system over some other. I am instead observing that to have any coherent discussion, we must speak honestly about what we're up against. Even systems we like have flaws we should be honest about, and Capitalism certainly has flaws. It matters to know them so one can at least understand what even might be a fix or improvement.

Maybe the right solution is to replace it, but you'd want to know what you were replacing it with. And honestly, I don't think there is enough time left in the history of humanity (which is about to be wiped out by climate change). So we have the system we have.

We CAN regulate it, for example. (That's assuming, of course, we can get our political representatives to care, which is a problem for another day.)

I seem to recall Adam Smith saying this we the solution. He wasn't talking about capitalism but I think maybe employment law. I saw the quote but didn't mark it and have had trouble finding it. But I recall it was a suggestion that if you wanted morality in capitalism, it had to be encoded in law, and that if capitalists were left to their own devices they would likely turn to tyranny. So a well-regulated capitalism is one approach.

But ALSO, stakeholder capitalism is a variant that we had and worked better. Everything went to pieces when we converted to shareholder capitalism. Clyde Prestowitz tells the story of this in quotations I capture in my essay Losing the War in a Quiet Room.

Interestingly, Naomi Klein in her book The Shock Doctrine also traced the modern downward slide to the same place, the actions of Milton Friedman in the 1970's. I tend to believe this account, even though some have traced other influences to earlier (and not without good reason).

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders both had proposals for returning to Stakeholder theory during the run-up to the 2020 election, and the notion of Stakeholder capitalism seems like, while it wouldn't fix everything, would be a big incremental improvement. It would make the Fiduciary Duty standard more flexible.

Right now you can do that for B-corps, but the bug is that you can't make the competitors of the B-corp do the same, so you're just putting yourself at disadvantage. People suggest that somehow a well-meaning B-corp has a market advantage, but that's not credible with me. If it had market advantage, all corps would do it anyway, and they don't. In my mind, B-corps are a license to lose money for the sake of being honorable without getting their principals sued. Others would surely characterize them differently.

Some sort of solution that involves an achievable rules change without overturning our basic systems seems like the approach I'd focus on if only for tactical reasons. We can talk forever about a world in which we did things entirely differently, but I just don't see how we get there. Climate Change will extinguish us long before that.

BostonGlobe—OPINION—The #Republican con on the #debtceiling. By Sen.#ElizabethWarren.

The #HouseRepublican plan for the debt ceiling is about protecting the wealthy and the well-connected from paying their fair share in taxes — nothing more and nothing less.

House Speaker #KevinMcCarthy and #extremistRepublicans are running a #congame. They claim their plan to use the debt ceiling to trigger global economic #chaos.

WAPO—#opinion

#JoeBiden is in the #OvalOffice. So are #ElizabethWarren’s ideas.

“Warren created a wide-ranging #progressive agenda, built support for it across the #party and the #country, and helped fill the government and outside groups with #allies who are helping her. That is an impressive trifecta considering that Warren isn’t the president but also isn’t the Democratic leader of either house of Congress or even the chair of a major committee.”
