Who will tell Obama about the flaws in his advisors’ core economic beliefs?

Bob Kuttner reflects on Obama's economic policy challenges and is "a little nervous about who he's listening to." He's referring to Robert Rubin and his protégés, Summers and Geithner, and other gatekeepers who embraced the failed mainstream economics of the last 25 years. Obama correctly says the Administration needs people with actual government experience in key positions, but he also says he wants new ideas. How do impressive heterodox people like Kuttner, who got right what the gatekeepers got wrong, get heard?

Maybe this way.  Labor-oriented economist Jared Bernstein at Economic Policy Institute makes it into the White House as Biden's Chief Economist and Economic Policy Advisor.
