Mon 1st Breakout #1: THE REORIENTATION OF OUR POLITICAL PARTIES OR HOW THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS SWITCHED PLACES
By: Carrie Lightner
How did the Republicans become the party of the working class in this country, and how did the Democrats cede that role? That is the fascinating question now informing our politics and public policy. For answers, we turn to conservative economist OREN CASS, founder and chief economist of American Compass, a Washington-based nonprofit “with a focus on realigning the GOP as the party of the American worker,” and the author of the recently published book The New Conservatives. In conversation with author EDWARD LUCE, US National Editor and columnist at the Financial Times, Cass will shed light on economic and ideological changes behind this shift and the emerging shape of the new Republican party and its conservative coalition.
