I think part of the reason why we don’t see as much clarity and success regarding the economy is because the left really doesn’t know what it wants. The left isn’t clear about what it wants for the polity either. In fact, the left has baggage that often keeps us from getting to those truths. Some of that baggage, as we talked about earlier, is the belief that there is a subset of people who are competent and capable of making serious decisions, and then the rest are not prepared to do so and should follow. That baggage gets in the way of people providing an effective critique of, and program for, a different economy and polity.
