Can capitalism be saved? @nickhanauer.bsky.social and @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social discuss their new treatise, Markets Built for Humans, and whether markets can be a force for good. Watch my interview and catch the latest from @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/washingt...
The Capitalists Trying to Fix Capitalism
"Market humanism" is how the economy should work, argue Nick Hanauer and Eric Beinhocker.

@nickhanauer.bsky.social and @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social argue that capitalism can be saved, provided there’s a radical makeover of what a capitalist economy should achieve. @anne-s-kim.bsky.social writes.
The Capitalists Trying to Fix Capitalism
Can capitalism be saved? Is it worth saving? Two ambitious reformers argue yes—provided we change what a capitalist economy should achieve.

The economy is not a law of nature. It’s a set of rules. @nickhanauer.bsky.social and @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social joined @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social editor @anne-s-kim.bsky.social to talk about Market Humanism — and how to build markets that serve people, not capital. Check it out ⬇️

The economy isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. The real question: can we design it better—and for whom? @nickhanauer.bsky.social & @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social joined @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social editor @anne-s-kim.bsky.social to discuss 🎧

Minimum-wage increases were expected to kill jobs ➟ the fact that they didn’t should make us rethink a lot of assumptions @nickhanauer.bsky.social & @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social write for @theatlantic.com on economic paradigm change @oxpolicyengaged.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Markets aren’t natural forces. They’re human-built systems. So this week, we’re sharing @nickhanauer.bsky.social and @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social’s @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social conversation about Market Humanism, and how we can build an economy wired for human flourishing. ⬇️ 🎧: buff.ly/QpuosW5
For 50 years, the left argued about fairness while conservatives claimed & promised growth. In Democracy Journal, @nickhanauer.bsky.social & @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social argue: 🚫Fairness is not a concession. 🚫It’s not charity. 🚫It's not a trade-off. 📈Fairness drives growth. buff.ly/LRcnq4C
Market Humanism: A New Paradigm for a New Era
Progressives have been fighting on the neoliberals’ terms. Market Humanism flips that—and provides a winning and more humane narrative. Oh—and a far more prosperous country.

@nickhanauer.bsky.social & @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social on 50 years of progressive economics: When fairness fights growth, fairness loses. Every time. That wasn't a messaging problem—it was the wrong fight entirely. #EconSky

The alternative he & @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social are building is called Market Humanism—the idea that markets are tools for solving human problems & can work for everyone when designed right. "Comically ambitious," he admits. But someone has to say it. buff.ly/kZ7DZPC
The minimum wage debate was never just about wages. It was a test of an entire economic paradigm. The paradigm failed. @nickhanauer.bsky.social and @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social make the case for what a better one looks like. buff.ly/W1PuXv5
