Behind Elizabeth Warren’s trust-busting, Wall Street-bashing, tax-the-wealthy platform is a brain trust that extends well beyond the Beltway
thinkers who often rubber stamp campaign proposals.
Warren is also frequently in touch with an array of academics, including several of her former students — slipping naturally from easily digestible campaign trail rhetoric to her native ivory tower vernacular. “Warren's campaign seems to have much deeper academic knowledge than other campaigns at this early stage,” Saez told POLITICO in an email. He said he’d had “ongoing sporadic” conversations with people in Bernie Sanders' camp since 2016 but had not heard from any other campaigns.
Given Warren's oft-repeated assertion that “personnel is policy,” the thinkers behind her anti-establishment agenda are the sort of people who might fill a Warren administration: Intellectuals inclined to challenge conventional wisdom, and people long on expertise in their subject matters but shorter on experience in the hard-knock political arena.

Beyond various academics across the country, she has a kitchen cabinet of sorts of many former students who have gone into academia. She occasionally chats with New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman as well.
