In 2020, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published a report called “Making U.S. Foreign Policy Work Better for the Middle Class,” using interviews from middle-income people in Colorado, Ohio, and Nebraska to gauge what the American middle class wants to see from foreign policy. Securing a “foreign policy for the middle class” went on to become a major talking point in Biden’s 2020 campaign and into his presidency. Having passed the mid-way mark in President Biden’s term, how can we evaluate this idea? Does America need a foreign policy for the middle class? Who exactly is this American middle class and does traditional foreign policy not align with their interests? Join us for a discussion with senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Zack Cooper, political scientist Jonathan Kirshner of Boston College, and finance executive Tom Wyler, co-author of the original report, “Making U.S. Foreign Policy Work Better for the Middle Class.”
