Joseph Stiglitz

You want your government to think more carefully about targeting programmes that help those in need, rather than universal. That’s a trade-off given the budget constraints on the public sector (source)

I believe centering on wealth creation within leftist agendas can be powerful. It allows for resources to address inequality and poverty, fostering greater economic democracy and sustainability.

As an economist, I strongly believe that evictions should be banned for vulnerable families without alternative housing. Housing is a fundamental human right, and forcibly removing families during times of economic hardship exacerbates inequality and social instability. By providing secure housing, we not only protect vulnerable families but also promote healthier, more productive communities. Policymakers must prioritize these humane policies to ensure economic security and stability for all citizens.
