"Republicans need to declare a truce on the social safety net. They need to assure the country that the net will always be there for the truly needy...The big story here is that a major pillar of the American right [Arthur Brooks] is leading his institution [the American Enterprise Institute] to fully embrace capitalism, but also fully embrace government policies that will help the broadest number of people earn their own success. In this era, the invisible hand may not be enough." David Brooks in The New York Times.
