In @ForeignPolicy, @ricardo_hausman and I argue that Trump has massively undermined his trade war against China by alienating rather than working with Western allies foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/23…

You Need Allies to Win a Trade War

Trump could have cornered China—instead, it’s the biggest winner of his attack on global trade.

One can compute a gravity-like measure based on inverse driving time to population. Example for all Commuting Zones in Canada, US & Mexico from work at @HarvardGrwthLab . Feel free to reach out for more details.

Hi @zackbeauchamp, in my book "Reclaiming Populism" my co-author and I show empirically that low social mobility is a far more powerful predictor of populism than income or wealth inequality. May be of interest to you wiley.com/en-ae/Reclaiming+P…

Thanks @CSTribune for covering the @HarvardGrwthLab's work on how deregulation can make housing more affordable in Wyoming! trib.com/news/state-regional…

Research: Deregulation may be solution to Wyoming housing crisis

Harvard Growth Lab research revealed the key to solving the state’s housing crisis may be through deregulating restrictions around housing density and the approval process.

My and @paulsummerville's book Reclaiming Populism just reviewed in the Canadian Journal of Political Science! The book's "readily accessible take on political and economic theory and its use of narratives keep the discussion engaging throughout." researchgate.net/profile/Amy…

My & @paulsummerville's letter in the @FT. "Although France has one of the largest, most interventionist states in the world, its social mobility is awful — far closer to that of the free-marketeer US than its Nordic neighbours." ft.com/content/1af8c8fb-6e15…

Reclaiming Populism by me & @paulsummerville reviewed in @NikkeiAsia. "How could Marine Le Pen rack up such a strong result against Emmanuel Macron? Quite easily. Populism is rooted in structural economic unfairness." asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Ar…

Why do leftist calls for redistribution keep losing to populism? "It’s not that the rich have too much, it’s that success depends on family wealth and status, when it should depend on good ideas, effort, and merit." @paulsummerville & I in @JoinPersuasion persuasion.community/p/recla…

Reclaiming Populism

To win over the disenchanted, the left needs to focus on economic opportunity rather than redistribution.

In our new piece in @ForeignPolicy, @paulsummerville and I rebut @paologerbaudo's review of our book Reclaiming Populism. Equalizing opportunity is very different from equalizing outcomes - & the left keeps losing to populists because it confuses the two. foreignpolicy.com/2022/04/01…

Thanks to @macleans Politics Insider Newsletter for the shout-out about @SusanDelacourt's piece in the @TorontoStar! Trump-style populism is unlikely to come to Canada b/c of our high social mobility - most citizens don't think the system is rigged
