biggest takeaway after moderating & chatting with sources @EconCon2023: there's a bustling policy ideas space with plenty of options/preferences/room to disagree & if you look at past ambitious reforms we now see as banal (utilities!) ya wonder if we're too sclerotic/partisan now

It was an honor to introduce @DorothyABrown for her keynote at #EconCon. In my remarks, I also reflected on the life & legacy of Dr. @WSpriggs, who passionately promoted an economics that vigorously advances racial equity & addresses the marginalization of Black communities. 1/

Not the exact quote, but @V_Williamson just made the important point regarding the child tax credit and its expiration: ‘Trying to sidestep racism either sets you up for failure in the immediate moment, or in the near future.’ #econcon @EconCon2023

"Avoiding racial injustice to get a policy passed will end up failing immediately or fail sometime in the future." - @V_Williamson #EconCon

.@Kamolika_Das cites some major tax wins from coast to coast. Massachusetts voters approved a surtax on income over $1 million that will raise billions for education and transportation. Washington passed a capital gains tax that is already outperforming expectations. #EconCon

Ideas for a racially just tax system via @DorothyABrown at #EconCon:
✅Data annually reported by race;
✅Taxincome from labor at the same rate as capital; +
✅Keep progressive tax system (ability to pay)
