Vice President-elect J.D. Vance is an advocate of a new school of conservative economic thought.

It challenges Orthodox Republican stands on taxes, regulation, and free markets,

and says that tax policy and other government intervention should be used to promote the social conservative goals of stronger families, communities, and industry.

In a New York Times op-ed this weekend, a leading proponent of what's being called the

new right, advises President-elect Trump not to huddle with his supporters at Mar-a-Lago

and then see how much of their agenda he can advance, and to instead consider other ideas

and take the road less traveled.

Orrin Cass wrote that op-ed.

He's founder and chief economist at a think tank called American Compass,

and he's the author of a book, The Once and Future Worker,

A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America.

Tuesday's exit polls showed that there was broad unhappiness with the economy and the way things

were going. Two-thirds of the voters described the economy as not so good or poor, and 70% of them

voted for Mr. Trump. What do you think they were voting for? What changes do you think they were

voting for? Well, I think they were voting against what we've done in this country for 20 or 25 years now,

except during Mr. Trump's first term, which is basically just focused on this idea that all

people want is cheap stuff.

So the more we do globalization and move our jobs to China, the more we have an open border

and bring in low-wage

migrant workers, the better off will be. And we'll see high GDP numbers and the stock market

will go up and everything will be great. And the reality is that for most people, that has been

a catastrophic failure. And I think that explains a lot of Trump's popularity.
