Luck, Economics, and Power Dynamics

This chapter explores the intricate interplay between luck, economic conditions, and the performance of presidents, with a spotlight on Trump's administration. It critiques the rise of corporate influence in politics, particularly post-Citizens United, and examines the implications of government bailouts during financial crises. The discussion raises concerns about socio-economic inequality and the potential for radical responses to the growing wealth gap, suggesting a possible shift toward populist movements.
