Trump's victory and Bernie's popularity in the last presidential election seem like strong evidence that non-elites have more political power than it's often claimed. And I don't think policy changes that would benefit working-class Americans harmed by globalization, like job creation programs or expansion of the earned income tax credit, are any less politically viable than the tariffs that were passed in recent months.
