Hillary Clinton to take on corporate culture in economic speech

New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton will use her second economic speech as a presidential candidate to ask businesses to "break free from the tyranny of today's earnings report" and instead take the long view on growth and corporate culture.

Progressives are hungry to see Clinton take on Wall Street, but according to Clinton's aides and a preview of the speech, Friday's event at New York University will not be chock full of the Wall Street red meat that liberals are pining for.

Instead, Clinton will outline a series of policy proposals that she hopes will rebuild "a connection between companies and their workers, so that workers are seen as assets rather than costs," an aide said on Thursday night.

Clinton will specifically knock companies for their "focus on short-term profits rather than long-term investment."

"She will say American business needs to break free from the 'tyranny of today's earnings report' so they can build tomorrow's prosperity in a way that drives income growth for everyday Americans," the aide said.

She speaking right now on Bloomberg. She started off by talking about the misreporting news story regarding emails.

She looks good, seems very focused.

Posted this in the GD : Primary Forum in hopes to get some useful dialog on the pros and cons of it. However, it appears, instead of waiting to hear the speech, at least the initial reply are already trashing it.

How can people criticize something without knowing the contents?

Interesting note, that last two economic speeches she has given have specifics in it. My observation is the other candidates economic policy is talked about in generalities, there is very little specifics. This is not to cut anyone down, just an observation
