The balance of political forces, including deficit hawks, China hawks, and fossil hawks, is shaping the legislative package. Deficit hawks monitor public spending, while China hawks drive a containment agenda. Fossil hawks benefit from the oil and gas industry's growth and rising prices. These powerful groups influence what can be included in the bill.
Featuring Daniela Gabor, Ted Fertik, and Tim Sahay on Bidenomics. We define and debate the new American industrial policy, the energy transition, the New Cold War with China—and more.
