Summary
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is promoting a plan to change key aspects of the U.S. economy, including corporate ownership, work hours, and access to healthcare, college, and housing. The agenda has drawn attention after DSA-backed candidates performed well in the 2026 midterm primaries. DSA supports public ownership of major corporations and essential industries, claiming it would give Americans more control over the economy. Experts, like Adam Lehodey of the Manhattan Institute, argue that nationalizing businesses could lead to inefficiency and higher costs. The group also wants a 32-hour workweek, a living minimum wage, and stronger worker protections. Other proposals include universal healthcare, free college, and student debt cancellation. Critics question how these changes would be funded and whether they would be economically viable.
