On our final episode of Voternomics, Peter Turchin, author of End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites and the Path of Political Disintegration, joins Bloomberg head of government and economics coverage Stephanie Flanders, The Readout newsletter’s Allegra Stratton and Bloomberg Opinion columnist Adrian Wooldridge with some sobering predictions for America’s future.

Flanders, Stratton and Wooldridge also reflect on the major themes observed during this year of elections, including how it was a bad year for incumbents, how inflation and the legacy of the Covid pandemic factored into voting decisions, whether technology and artificial intelligence were major factors in campaign success or failures, and whether in the end, during a year when more than 40 national elections took place, democracy prevailed.

Why Endorsing Candidates Has Become ‘Terrible’ for Business

On this episode of Voternomics,we discuss former US President Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed favorite word: tariffs. While mainstream economists warn that hiking taxes on certain imports is bad for business, not everyone appears to be of the same mind. That became evident last week during Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait’s interview of Trump before the Economic Club of Chicago. The crowd’s enthusiastic reaction to the Republican presidential candidate’s talk of tariffs suggested that many of America’s Midwest businesspeople might take a different view.

Hosts Stephanie Flanders, Adrian Wooldridge and Allegra Stratton discuss the roots of Trump’s love of tariffs with Micklethwait himself and consider whether an “America First” approach could win short-term gains for some parts of the US economy, even if it undermines global trade and weakens America’s global standing in the long-term.
