73. Joe Biden

Absolutely did. The problem, as usual, is that we couldn't communicate it, even to everyone on our side. And also that the changes he implemented would take time to actually show an effect.

Bidenomics Is Starting to Transform America. Why Has No One Noticed?

Real Bidenomics upends a set of economic assumptions that have prevailed in both parties for most of the past half century. Biden is the first President in decades to treat government as the designer and ongoing referee of markets, rather than as the corrector of markets’ dislocations and excesses after the fact.

What would you call these policies? One apt label might be “post-neoliberal,” a term that does not resonate at all with the public. Another way of thinking about Biden’s approach is through terminology devised by the political scientist Jacob Hacker: it rejects redistribution as a guiding liberal principle, in favor of “predistribution,” an effort to transform the economy in a way that makes redistribution less necessary.

The lesson for the next Democratic president is probably that we need to have some policies that will have some obvious impact in the short term, and be sure people know it was because of you.
