Vice President Kamala Harris is an ideas candidate. That's what a string of recent opinion pieces about her economic agenda try to convince us of anyway.
In a Tuesday column, The Washington Post's Heather Long writes that she sees in Harris' "opportunity economy"—that grab bag of subsidies to businesses large and small, price controls on food and housing, tariffs on imported goods, tax credits for parents, and a call to build 3 million new homes—a coherent philosophy of "fair capitalism" or "middle-class capitalism."
