Quick takeaways
- Global income growth is not as unequally distributed as previously thought, challenging preconceptions about the negative impact of globalization on Western working classes.
- Attempting to counter the threat posed by Donald Trump and his brand of populism through judicial means may not be effective, and building a political coalition that appeals to those who reject Trump's politics is considered a more effective strategy.

The Supreme Court of Colorado disqualifies Donald Trump from running for the 2024 presidential election
The Supreme Court of the State of Colorado has disqualified Donald Trump from running for the 2024 presidential election, removing his name from the primary ballots in the state. This ruling by the seven out of seven Democratic-dominated judges has caused concern about the legitimacy of the decision and the potential for further polarization. While Trump is considered a threat to democratic institutions, some argue that disqualifying him through legal means may not effectively contain this threat. There are concerns that even if Trump is removed from the ballots, someone like Donald Trump Jr. could take his place, leading to more mistrust and polarization among Americans.
