On Trump's return and the end of the End of History (still!)

Historian and Jacobin contributing editor Matt Karp joins us to extract the true meaning of the US election. We discuss:

• How Trump's victory explodes so many Democrat assumptions about demography and identity

• How this election re-writes the past ten years' history

• Whether Trump still retains an anti-political or anti-establishment charge

• If the Democrats are preponderant in leading sectors of the knowledge economy, is this a political rejection of its assumptions?

• How to place this election in the sweep of the global anti-incumbency wave

• What the relationship is between inflation, labour and legitimacy
