Economic Policies of Leading Democratic Candidates

David Leonhardt of the New York Times published an article explaining the policy differences between Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama in economic terms. It's an interesting read.

Basically the difference, Leonhardt says, is that Clinton's policies (like her husband's) tend toward behavioral incentives, and that Obama thinks some people will still ignore the intended behavior even if you incentivise the desired behavior.

I'm looking forward to his follow-up on the policies of the Republican candidates.
