Is Larry Summers on Hillary Clinton's team?

someone posted this in another thread.
I thought she picked Maya Harris for the position as senior policy advisor.

was last. CAP is very, very closely tied to Clinton.

In fairness, Summers seems to have changed his thinking.

Her language re inclusive prosperity is a Summerism.

... with EVERYTHING.

To Elizabeth Warren:

After dinner, “Larry leaned back in his chair and offered me some advice,” Ms. Warren writes. “I had a choice. I could be an insider or I could be an outsider. Outsiders can say whatever they want. But people on the inside don’t listen to them. Insiders, however, get lots of access and a chance to push their ideas. People — powerful people — listen to what they have to say. But insiders also understand one unbreakable rule: They don’t criticize other insiders.
