Critiquing Biden’s Agenda: Overview and the Economy

On the first installment of New Ideal Live’s three-part analysis of the Biden administration agenda, Elan Journo and Onkar Ghate discuss and analyze, from a philosophical perspective, the overall policy plan of the new administration with an emphasis on the economy.

Among the topics covered:

  • Why Biden’s plans reflect an embrace of the mixed economy;
  • Why a mixed economy leads to pressure group warfare;
  • How Biden’s labor and trade policies echo Trump’s;
  • Why Biden’s economic proposals will hurt the ambitious poor;
  • The travesty of the proposed constitutional amendment to publicly fund election campaigns.
