A think tank with close ties to Hillary Clinton’s campaign issued proposals across more than a dozen issues that could serve as a menu for economic policy should the Democrat enter the White House in January.
The 14 essays -- on topics ranging from global trade to how economic inequality affects children -- were published Monday by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and are aimed at influencing the next administration. Although the group labeled it as a guide for “the two presidential transition teams,” the center was founded by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and is directed by Heather Boushey, who became chief economist for Clinton’s transition team in August.
