After laying out a very broad economic agenda in early July, Hillary Clinton returned last week to start drilling into specifics. These include combating what Clinton terms "quarterly capitalism" — the tendency of corporations and businesses to focus on short-term gains to shareholders, rather than long-term investments in jobs, better pay, and more productive capital. Unfortunately, the way Clinton frames the problem has a self-defeating quality to it — one that hamstrings her diagnosis and proposed solutions right out of the gate. To be sure, Clinton is on the right track.
