Yesterday, I spoke with @MattEganCNN about the growing list of business execs with links to Epstein who've been forced to step down. In my view, this exposes a "deep rot" at the top of society - people have every right to be angry. Check out the article: cnn.com/2026/02/18/business/…

A majority of Americans feel that ICE has been too tough. Businesses have long hesitated to criticize the administration, but that seems to be changing, as we can see in this letter from Silicon Valley tech workers iceout.tech/ from businesses in Minnesota elsewhere

The killing/murder of Renee Good and the DOJ's probe into Fed Chair Powell have taken place just a few days apart. Both of these actions are highly salient and unpopular. Is this the turning point, the critical juncture when the political tide turns decisively against Trump/MAGA?

As 2025 comes to an end, the political winds have shifted against MAGA - but Trump has had a massive impact. To get a sense of how Trump has reshaped American capitalism, check out this article npr.org/2025/12/22/nx-s1-563… which contains my thoughts and those of other leading experts.

"When the U.S. government appears to favor a company over rivals, that distorts the marketplace....It's just bad for the economy."
Looking back at an eventful year for business, politics, & U.S. capitalism.

This USA Today story cites my article published after George Floyd's murder doi.org/10.1017/bap.2022.17 Makes me reflect on the stupid state of our politics. Instead of figuring out better ways to live together as free, equal, diverse citizens, the question has become: 'woke' or not?

A sobering call: business leaders must choose courage over compliance. Appeasement strengthens authoritarianism — now is the time to speak out for democracy.

Trump is viewed as pro-business, and during Trump's first presidency, many businessmen revolved into politics degruyterbrill.com/document/… But Trump 2.0 now has a loyalty scorecard for business. Will the government put pressure on businesses that they view as insufficiently loyal?

In Deutschland ist die AfD im neuen Bundestag mit der größten Zahl von Unternehmern vertreten. @dneuerer hat mich zu diesem Thema in diesem sehr lesenswerten Artikel interviewt. Diese Entwicklung ist eine Zäsur für Deutschland, und die AfD wird das politisch ausnutzen.

Mit dem Ausscheiden der #FDP aus dem Bundestag verliert das Parlament auch unternehmerischen Sachverstand. Auf Platz 1 rangiert jetzt die #AfD. Ob sie die Lücke schließen kann?

After Luigi Mangione's murder of United Health CEO Brian Thompson, @MaxZahn_ interviewed me and other experts about growing hostility toward top managers. The article abcnews.go.com/Business/unit… identifies key causes: a broken healthcare system, social media algorithms and populism.
