Disabled People Are the Canaries in the Coal Mine
The disabled community has responded to the adversities they face by organizing for legal rights that protect their autonomy and access to public life. But these rights are increasingly under attack.
The BBC radio program Business Daily had a good segment on the future of economics, with good discussions of Keynesianism and behavioral economics (though not quite enough on heterodox approaches). The main off note (to my mind) was the bit with Michael Sandel, with his emphasis on the "normative" foundations of economics. I don't think economics needs to rediscover its ethical foundations (in Adam Smith) as much as it's political foundations (in Marx). But otherwise I thought this was worth a listen.
