New Yorker Hypes Jackson's Old Economics
February 23, 2026·1 day ago·via The New Yorker
The New Yorker revives Jesse Jackson's outdated economic platform as "timeless," pushing big-government redistribution and intervention that failed spectacularly in the '80s. Jackson's playbook- heavy on subsidies, race-based policies, and anti-free-market rhetoric- ignores how Trump-era deregulation unleashed real growth for all Americans, not just cronies. This nostalgia trip from elite media reeks of desperation to counter booming conservative economics with socialist relics.
