Popular economics podcast reveals hidden side of US presidential race

The Ones and Tooze podcast brings fresh take on world-news where me and my co-host Adam Tooze dive into economics behind big headlines. During last year our show focused heavily on US election stuff

The show covers major political-economic events: from questions about Joe Bidens ability to lead again to Donald Trumps business problems (which ended in court decision against him) Its interesting to see how Kamala Harris fits into this whole picture; especially from money point-of-view

Across the board on average there are simply racks and racks and racks and racks of medical papers demonstrating that with age there is both deterioration of mental function and an enormous increase in the risk of the onset of serious neurological ailments and diseases

Adam Tooze on aging leadership

When discussing Trumps ideas about trade Tooze pointed out some problems:

Many of the tariff proposals that the Trumpians are making are not just in violation of the World Trade Organization but much more significantly theyre in violation of the trade arrangement with Mexico and Canada … which is overwhelmingly Americas most important trade relation

Tooze explaining trade policy issues

About Harris‚ the shows analysis shows her economic views:

I think Harris belongs on the mainstream relatively pro-business pro-Silicon Valley side of the administration at this point And I do think thats a generational thing She comes into prominence at precisely the moment before the euphoria around tech has really broken
