Biden needs an economic team that's less focused on Wall St
Mounting data shows just how separated financial markets have become from Main Street. Addressing that separation requires a rethink in policy across nearly every area of government.
There are still two weeks to go until the US presidential elections, but Democrats are feeling optimistic enough to start talking about what a Joe Biden cabinet might look like. Much of the conversation has been focused on race and gender diversity. But Democrats should be paying just as much attention to economic and political diversity.
That is because the next president will need a highly heterodox team to handle a very complex problem: how to bridge the historic divide between the fortunes of US companies and workers.
