From WSJopinion: One lesson of the 1960s is that political compromises with progressives can be much more consequential than they look, writes AmityShlaes
Democratic Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren's health-care plan let the cat out of the bag: Progressivism is just pie in the sky. Image: Yuri Gripas/ReutersShe’ll only get halfway. That’s the consensus on Elizabeth Warren: If the senator becomes president, Congress will wear down her ideological edge and stymie much of her radical agenda. The result won’t be something free-marketeers can love, but it will be something they can live with and then undo at a later date.
Maybe not. The lesson of the 1960s is that political compromises with progressives can be much more consequential than they look—and preclude future reform.
