Wells Fargo Had a Bad Day. That's a Start. Wells Fargo's CEO faced a rough grilling. That's a start. But John Stumpf is undoubtedly decompressing somewhere right now, waiting in comfort for the heat to die down. Wall Street's fraud won't end until its senior executives are held fully accountable for their actions -- and not just for a day.

Despite Some Good Economic News, The Status Quo Is Not Enough How can Democrats convince struggling voters that they understand their needs while at the same time celebrating an economy that has left these voters behind? That job got even harder last week when the president teamed up with Ohio Gov. John Kasich and other Republicans to push another job-killing trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP.

Stiglitz Speaks: Globalization's Grand Failure, Apple & Bad Trade Deals Why have so many policymakers in Europe and the United States continued to push globalization, despite the evidence? "In American politics," Stiglitz replied, "part of the reason is of course the influence of money." He pointed out that both presidential candidates now say they oppose the TPP, which he takes as a hopeful sign.

Al Capone, Meet Wells Fargo Every major bank on Wall Street has a rap sheet that would make a Chicago gangster blush. Nevertheless, bank-servile Republicans -- including Donald Trump -- have been calling to disband the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, even as it brings Wells Fargo to something like justice.

How Much Will the War On Unions Cost You This Labor Day? We can't change the past, but we can change the future. Unions are exploring new ways to reach nonunion workers. The Fight for $15 is gaining momentum. Progressive populism is on the rise. Working people can hope for a better life in Labor Days yet to come. Better yet, they can fight for it.

Health Care Is a Right, Not a Business By any objective measure, the U.S. insurance industry has failed to manage either the cost or the quality of health care. Health care is a human right, and private insurers have failed to safeguard it. They had their shot, and they blew it. Health care is a right, not a business.

The "People's Fed" and the Oracles of Jackson Hole As long as the Fed's organizational culture is dominated by the financial sector, it cannot reflect the American people's needs, hopes and values. And as long as its ownership and accountability remain hazy, even an oracle won't be able to tell us who it's really here to serve.

Trump's Estate Tax: An Aristocrat's Gift to His Friends and Family If anybody is a "little guy" it's Trump -- and I'm not talking about his hands. It takes a little heart to be born into such wealth and yet be filled with such self-regard and selfishness. It takes a little heart to want so much for himself and so little for others, to bring out the worst in our neighbors and be so cruel to the strangers at our door. Maybe we should call this spoiled child of privilege a "little prince."

Will The "Fix the Debt" Manipulators Ever Reform Themselves? There's no need to revisit the evidence against Wall Street's top executives, or the fact that many Wall Streeters are involved with Fix the Debt. There's no need to recap the hidden agenda behind this campaign, or the fact that these would-be Social Security slashers all have great retirement plans of their own.

Workers of the Future, Unite Power isn't won by waiting for tomorrow. It's won by challenging entrenched interests, here and now. We need to prepare for a future in which advances in productivity -- from technology or other sources -- are shared more equally than they are today. To do that, we must build a more equitable economy today.

The Fiscal Myth That's Killing The Economy, In 7 Steps The crisis of 2008, and the events that followed, disproved austerity economics and other hallmarks of conservative economic thought. But it remains popular in powerful circles -- perhaps because, as Upton Sinclair said (in the gendered language of his time): "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

The Incredible Shrinking Populist: Donald Trump's Tiny Economic Vision This is Trump's biggest contradiction: He exhorts Americans to "think big" and "dream great things." But Donald Trump is all talk and no action. In the end he's just another selfish and small-minded Republican, with tiny dreams and a tiny vision in a nation that is still capable of greatness.

American Greed: Trump's Economic Team Is a Who's Who of What's Wrong Trump's team isn't just monochromatic and male. At least four, and perhaps as many six, of the men are billionaires. They range in age from 50 to 74 -- or, from "younger old white guy" to "older old white guy." Five team members are named Steve -- which means that eight of them are not. For diversity, that will have to do. There are only two economists on the team -- and one of them believes in the flat tax.

As Republicans Defect, Will Clinton Be Tempted To Tack Right? The sense of panic among elite Republicans is palpable. They're beginning to understand that when they look at Donald Trump they're staring into the orange-hued face of their party's potential demise.

The Birds on Trump's Brain Here's what Trump said about wind power: "The wind kills all your birds. All your birds, killed. You know, the environmentalists never talk about that."Trump is still the Republican Party candidate. And when it comes to climate change, and regulations, and fossil fuels, he's more typically Republican than you might think. But when it comes to bird brains, he's in a class by himself.

Trump's Terrifying Pitch: It Was Better Than You Think Trump's acceptance speech was Demagoguery 101: Terrify, then reassure. Threaten people with destruction, then reassure them with the warm embrace of your fatherly arms. It's what kidnappers do to instill Stockholm syndrome in their prisoners. And Trump's eerily good at it.

Clinton Must Go Bold -- and Go Left -- For VP Clinton must energize and excite the Democratic base, along with millions of millennials who have never voted. She needs to bring excitement, and a sense of the new, to a campaign conspicuously lacking in those qualities. Voters remain deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. Clinton's biggest problem, and the greatest threat to her candidacy, is the fact that she's seen as the candidate of the status quo.

Trump 2016: The Three Shadows Haunting Cleveland As for Republicans, consider their ethics. In December Paul Ryan condemned Trump on moral grounds, saying his anti-Muslim bigotry is "not who we are as a people or a country." Ryan will address the convention on Tuesday night. They'll all be making their deals with the devil this week, these cut-rate Fausts in the Quicken Loans Arena.

Don't Stop the Revolution: The Sanders Movement After Orlando Platforms are promises. That makes them useful in the hands of activists willing to hold politicians to them. It's easy to lose faith when important battles are lost, or to become overconfident when they're won. But, in both defeat and victory, this revolution must go on. This is the most progressive Democratic platform in history, but only because millions of people demanded it -- with their votes and their activism.

Can the Democratic Platform Change the Future of American Banking? Just as war is too important to be left to the generals, politics is too important to be left to the politicians. This platform language may not be binding, but it's a useful tool in the hands of committed activists. An independent movement -- call it a "political revolution" if you like -- can demand that Democrats honor the commitments they made during this campaign.
