I just got done reading Obama's speech on the economy. I've tried to distill it into the essence of what he's proposing, and go over his economic philosophy which is split between a neoliberal Rubin-type policy tone and an embrace of behavioral economics, a new school of thought popularized by books like The Tipping Point, Freakonomics and Predictably Irrational. You're not going to see the Naomi Klein critique of disaster capitalism in his policy team.
