While at the DNC, I attended an event hosted by the Roosevelt Institute, As they say on their site: “Inspired by the legacy of Franklin and Eleanor, the Roosevelt Institute reimagines America as it should be: a place where hard work is rewarded, everyone participates, and everyone enjoys a fair share of our collective prosperity. We believe that when the rules work against this vision, it’s our responsibility to recreate them.”

The panel discussion was between Joseph Stigliz and Stan Greenberg, moderated by Rana Foroohar. You can see their bios here.  The primary part of the discussion centered on looking at two economic messages put forth by Hillary Clinton and how the ideas polled relative to election outcomes. The two messages were not all that different, they just took two different approaches. Interestingly, one will win the election, and the other will lose. If one is implemented, it could potentially change the course of American economics.
