1/2 Today's new @equitablegrowth.bsky.social report offers a better way to measure the national debt: consider the debt-to-wealth ratio alongside debt-to-GDP, and a clearer path emerges for how policymakers should respond. equitablegrowth.org/research-pap...

The debt-to-wealth ratio: A missing lens on the U.S. government's fiscal capacityWhy scaling the national debt by what the country owns—not just what it earns in a year—reshapes the debate over how much we owe and who could help pay it down.equitablegrowth.org

1/3 Some good news from the last week—now parents can sign their newborn up for a Trump account at the hospital, making it a lot easier to get babies enrolled.

I am pleased to see that the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Cook maintained the Federal Reserve’s independence. It is absolutely critical that the central bank remains independent from outside pressures to ensure a stable U.S. economy that promotes shared prosperity and growth.

For years, Equitable Growth pushed for the government to track GDP disaggregated by income, so we can see who benefits from GDP growth. While these results weren't what we were hoping for from an inequality perspective, we’re thrilled Americans now have better data to understand the economy.

Welcome, Diana! Looking forward to you being a part of the EG team this summer!

Excited to partner with @aeainformation.bsky.social for our sixth year hosting a Summer Econ Fellow. Welcome to the team, Anna!

(1/3) Very excited to share that @equitablegrowth.bsky.social just launched a new interactive database to help researchers, funders, policymakers, and journalists navigate the available research on AI’s impact on work, workers, and the labor market.

AI and the energy transition are two of the most powerful forces shaping our economy right now, and how they intersect will determine whether growth is broadly shared. Join us June 10 for this timely conversation with an exceptional group of experts.

The @equitablegrowth.bsky.social team spent the morning yesterday volunteering at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, planting banana trees and birds of paradise. Great to be a part of this wonderful group!

At @equitablegrowth.bsky.social, we focus on whether policies deliver shared prosperity and broad-based growth. 530A accounts have real potential, but only if policymakers take the steps outlined in this essay to ensure millions of kids who need them most aren’t left behind.

Thrilled to have Lily Roberts joining team @equitablegrowth.bsky.social as our new Vice President of Policy and Programs. Lily is a truly talented leader with deep policy expertise. I know she’ll be a fantastic addition to the team.

1/ Worth a read. This World Bank report is a sign of how much of a shift there has been in economics, and of some of the limitations in purely free market thinking—as we at @equitablegrowth.bsky.social have been arguing for a long time.

This is a valuable resource for those interested in the evolving state and federal policy landscape surrounding early child care and education. More to come from @equitablegrowth.bsky.social on this topic soon!

Great to see Justin Gest on @newrepublic.com's Right Now podcast discussing the populism essay he contributed to @equitablegrowth.bsky.social's essay series last year. (newrepublic.substack.com/p/how-democr...) You can read all of our populism essays here:

(1/2) Last year, @equitablegrowth.bsky.social took a deep dive into the link between economic policy and global support for authoritarian populism. Across 14 essays, leading researchers explored what’s driving this trend and how it can be reversed.

We have a fantastic lineup set for @equitablegrowth.bsky.social's tariff webinar next week. Join us March 24 from 2-3 p.m. ET. Registration details below!

In this valuable new report, @jleibenluft.bsky.social examines what U.S. policymakers can learn from Trade Adjustment Assistance as they prepare for AI-related worker displacement. This report is part of EG’s broader series on lessons we should learn about economic policy & authoritarian populism.

1/ At a time when economic policy is failing too many Americans, @equitablegrowth.bsky.social is bringing clarity, data, a commitment to equity, and a focus on growth to the national conversation, ensuring that solutions are grounded in what actually improves people’s lives.

Equitable Growth will dive deeper into the macroeconomic and labor market implications of the current tariff landscape during an upcoming webinar on March 24. Learn more + register here: web.cvent.com/event/00e47e...

1/ This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should have released the January employment situation report, which would have told us how many jobs were created last month. Because of this week’s partial government shutdown, that report has been postponed.
