It's the inflation, stupid w/ James Meadway
Added 2024-11-10 12:06:57 +0000 UTCToday we're publishing a crossover episode with our friends at the Macrodose podcast, hosted by James Meadway. In the episode talk about the economics of Donald Trump's election victory and why James lays much of the blame for Kamala Harris' defeat at the door of mainstream economics. We also talked about why Donald Trump did so well amongst young white men, and about what role the Democrats' enabling of the Gaza genocide had in the election results.

if it’s price controls then we need to anticipate that problem & make them a bigger part of our politics
