Economic Illiteracy of Trump and Harris | Independent Outlook 64

August 28, 2024

Both major party presidential candidates, and their policy teams, seem to be suffering from a bad case of economic illiteracy, in somewhat different ways … or maybe not so different. With two aspiring leaders both saying they want to make things better for middle class and lower-income Americans, it’s pretty discouraging to see them advance economic policies that would actually make most Americans worse off.

Independent Outlook is the regular round-table conversation from the Independent Institute that provides timely insights and cutting-edge commentary on the most pressing issues of the day. It features Independent’s Dr. Graham Walker (President), Dr. Phillip Magness (Senior Fellow and the David J. Theroux Chair in Political Economy), and Dr. Williamson Evers (Director of Independent's Center on Educational Excellence).
