Yasha Monk talks to Bronco Milano about the rise of populism. He says it's a global problem and we shouldn't over estimate fluctuations in where it is worst right this moment, which country is ahead or behind the curve. We also discuss why people voted for Donald Trump as well as questions that are more politically urgent.
Yascha Mounk and Branko Milanovic discuss what his famous elephant curve says about the ills—and the gains—of globalization; how the left’s concern with inequality is being turned against its concern with internationalism; why economic causes of populism are often expressed in cultural ways; and how a determination to increase the financial and educational endowments of ordinary citizens can combat inequality and boost their living standards.
