London’s luxury real estate market appeared to be in a funk of late—and with little hope of improvement given the looming tax shake-up for the super wealthy.

Or so it seemed. An increasing number of US billionaires and multimillionaires have been relocating to the UK, which has changed the landscape, Bloomberg reporter Damian Shepherd joins hosts Francine Lacqua, David Merritt and Allegra Stratton to discuss.

The positive vibes are flowing at the Democratic National Convention, but what about policy proposals? On this special episode of Voternomics, Bloomberg Senior Executive Editor for Economics Stephanie Flanders heads to Chicago to find out how—if at all—a Kamala Harris presidency would alter the US government’s approach to the economy.

Flanders spoke with economist Heather Boushey, a member of President Joe Biden’s Council of Economic Advisors who has previously served as president and chief executive of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. “What I see,” Boushey said, speaking in her personal capacity, “is the vice president putting together an agenda to make sure that the government is working to build the middle class, to make sure that prices are fair, to make sure that people have economic opportunities.”

Boushey cited price gouging, taxes and housing as three areas where Harris has discussed her economic plans. “We’ve seen challenges in insufficient housing supply. We’ve seen that it just costs too much for families,” said Boushey, adding that Harris has unveiled policies that would increase housing. She also pointed to the vice president’s statements regarding a “robust plan” to expand the child tax credit.

But how will Harris propose that Congress pay for these policies? “She is committed to making sure that we fix the tax system in the US so that it is more fair so that corporations pay their fair share,” Boushey said.
