Since Jed is repeating this arg and getting more attention:
Look, I advised the admin to use the HEA--I came up with the legal theory!--but this is at best an incomplete analysis. And it does not seem to have been updated in light of new information.
There is no knockdown argument that would convince all judges current law authorizes broad debt cancelation. Both HEROES and HEA args rely on contested readings of facially broad discretionary authorities. Each arg has strengths and weaknesses.

I'm going to have to do a thread in response to this editorial.
First, contra the title, it's not actually an objection to Biden's plan. It's an objection to the legal reasoning in a memo that may or may not represent the Admin's full legal reasoning and does not limit the Admin's ability to defend its action on appeal.

This is fascinating work from @MadisonECondon on how the rise of "asset manager capitalism" shifts the politics of firm ownership in favor of long-term resilience and against competition.
I want to tease out two implications. 1/n

The first is that, as Madison points out, accounting for asset manager capitalism seems to require separating out the standard conflation between shareholder power and maximization of (short-term) shareholder value. 2/n

Very very excited for this new symposium @jeffgordon12 and I have been cooking up over at @LPEblog! It's a convening of heterodox perspectives on how to do political economy, so we can think together about moving beyond neoclassical models.
Today is the first day of the global value chains symposium over at @LPEblog! Join us as we track the code of capital across borders with Dan Danielsen, Jennifer Bair, Amy Cohen, @ioanniskamp, @mouetteobscure, @KlaasEller, et al.
