      1. The drama at the Center for American Progress & ThinkProgress should raise a larger question: are liberal think tanks nimble enough going to adapt to the new political era, with the Democratic Party tugging left-wards?

      2. There's some CAP specific stuff with the ThinkProgress fiasco but drama is playing against a background where the Democratic Party is moving in policy directions that the donor class (who fund the think tanks) might not want to go.

      3. Liberal think tanks, of course, continue to do good work, some of it left. @rooseveltinst for example has been at the forefront of developing a structuralist critique of corporate power & asking how that power can be reined in.

      4. But still, in recent months I've been struck by the fact that think tanks aren't quite as advanced as some of the candidates (Warren and Sanders, mainly). I look into reasons why in this feature for @thenation : https://www.thenation.com/article/think-tanks-democratic-party/ …

          "Think tanks" are a relic of the Cold War, pre-internet era that will slowly wither away in a generation. They were mostly staffed w. folks who couldn't get tenure at top tier research universities and summarized work done by other scholars anyway

          I agree we need more @MattBruenig s Also funding congressional offices sounds like a good idea.

          Following up on @HeerJeet's article on think tanks and the pres race, I want to emphasize the phrase that I am "more muted" in my criticism. That's very true, perhaps an understatement. Just to emphasize my own observations in the piece: 1/

          First, it's remarkable how far daring campaigns, not limited to Warren's, have been on specific, innovative policy, usually pretty soundly done. That presents a challenge to think tanks, or the subset of them that thinks our mission is to put out-there ideas on the agenda 2/

          Great piece! Perhaps the next speaker should seriously consider rebuilding the intellectual/ policy analysis infrastructure of Congress. This might weaken the influence of big donors via think tanks.
