Phil Magness points out that searching through JD Vance's old, scrubbed Twitter handle from the 2010s shows Vance regularly engaged with widely criticized economic commentators and opinions from that period.
Magness further notes that Oren Cass was especially prominent among Vance's favorite sources at that time.

Magness has previously examined the origins of key economic ideas, noting that the concept of financialization was first outlined in Rudolf Hilferding's 1910 book on the evolution of capitalism. In another analysis, he argued that adopting postliberal economic positions demonstrates significant incompetence in economic matters among advocates of such views. These earlier assessments provide context for Magness's current scrutiny of Vance's past economic commentary.
