Mark Paul joins Money on the Left to discuss his new book, The Ends of Freedom: Reclaiming America\u2019s Lost Promise of Economic Rights (University of Chicago Press, 2023). Paul is assistant professor in the Bloustein school of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. In his book, Paul scours U.S. political and economic history to recover, reclaim, and adapt the rhetoric of economic rights for our current political moment. For too long, Paul demonstrates, progressives and leftists have let conservative and sometimes charismatic economists define the boundaries of our economic thinking. This even as the left has underappreciated its own rich reserves of heterodox political thinking and radical rhetorical action. Hence Paul\u2019s outspoken advocacy\u2013within and beyond the book\u2013for durable and democratic policy interventions like Medicare for All, a federal jobs guarantee, and a Green New Deal.\xa0
