It was unfortunate timing that brought Sen. Elizabeth Warren to speak before the AFL-CIO National Summit on Raising Wages at just the moment the world’s attention was fixed on the awful terrorist attack in Paris. But Warren’s message, even if overlooked on the day it was delivered, will resonate through the 2016 Democratic primary race and beyond.

It was the kind of speech a presidential campaign would bill as a “major address” on the economy and America’s future.
