Clinton will unveil aggressive economic agenda that targets Wall Street, high earners

After months of running on broad themes backed by little in the way of actual policy proposals, aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton say that on Monday, she will announce a far-reaching plan to restructure the economy that would disrupt how Wall Street does business.

In what the campaign bills as a landmark speech at the New School in New York City, Clinton will offer a vision for growth that is notably different from the one her husband, Bill Clinton, pursued when he was in the White House and pivots off some of the policies of President Obama.

The agenda, written with input from some of the country’s most liberal economists, reflects not just Hillary Clinton’s effort to appeal to a Democratic party that has drifted leftward, but also disenchantment with the centrist economic policies she once favored.
