Why Both Left and Right Have Rejected Free Markets

“American political leaders on the left and right are rebelling against the market-first consensus that dominated Washington for four decades,” Axios reports.

“The result is one of the biggest shifts in U.S. economic policy since the Reagan revolution, overturning decades of orthodoxy on trade, manufacturing, housing, health care and corporate power.”

”The shared skepticism of the old economic consensus masks vastly different visions for what comes next.”

”It’s evident in everything from the Trump administration taking government stakes in dozens of private companies to socialist candidates winning Democratic primaries promising a more active government role in the economy.”
