Thomas Ferguson

Thomas Ferguson, a political scientist and research director at the Institute for New Economic Thinking, dives into the intersection of tech and politics. He reveals how big money influences election outcomes and shapes Democratic priorities away from working people. Ferguson examines the rise of 'red tech,' the implications of a K-shaped recovery, and the bipartisan capture of crypto. He warns of a structural impasse for labor and suggests reforms like banning super PACs to revive trust in the party.
