Description
There's an intra-party fight on the right — and it's not (all) about
Trump! For decades, conservatives have called for the government to take
a hands-off approach to the economy. But now, a group of self-styled
“common good capitalists” — like Sen. Marco Rubio — want to change that.
And, they’re gaining power. It’s a divide not only over what policy
approach is best, but what the most effective political strategy is for
the GOP in the 21st century. Playbook co-author Tara Palmeri talks with
an influential voice in this new economic counterculture — Oren
Cass, head of American Compass and Mitt Romney's former campaign
advisor, as well as Eliana Johnson, POLITICO Magazine contributor and
editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon, about this policy divide
and where the 2024 GOP hopefuls land on this spectrum.
