Summary
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has begun a six-week, 20-state road trip aimed at persuading midterm voters to reject socialism and back free markets.
The campaign comes as interest in populist economic policies has surged ahead of the Nov. 3 elections, sharpening business concerns about the political mood.
The Chamber is framing capitalism as the "best pathway to opportunity and prosperity" and as the preferred answer to the country's economic troubles.
The tour signals a broader effort by the nation's largest business lobby to shape the economic debate in the final stretch before voting.
