The response to the Great Recession was such an insane policy failure

Interesting John Ganz piece on the “does Trumpism = fascism” debate. Ganz says fascism-denial is mostly academics protecting their turf from upstart analysts who are basically unserious.

I’d like to suggest something else is also going on here. 1/

From New York City to Bogotá, Colombia, the left hasn't figured out how to deal with crime. So it uses the playbook of the right. My column: wapo.st/3vEC51Z

Maurizio Pollini, Richard Serra, and Daniel Kahneman all pass away within a few days of each other -- the end of the last generation of High Modernists?

Why did Washington give the Mexican president so much power over the U.S. presidential election? My column 👇🏽 wapo.st/4cr0gl1

Despite Biden’s efforts, working-class voters still don’t trust Democrats, Eduardo Porter writes. wapo.st/3wPs1Ua

OK, Biden called for higher taxes. But can he convince the working class that he's their guy? Call me skeptical 👇🏽 wapo.st/3IwOnMQ
