Ones and Tooze

Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.

    Why Are Poor Americans Voting for the Party of the Rich?

    One of the most surprising data points to emerge from the U.S. election last week was a significant swing toward Donald Trump among the poorest of U.S. voters—those who earn less than $50,000 a year. The shift seems to be part of a broader political trend, and it raises a question about class and politics in the United States: Why are poor people supporting a candidate whose policies have generally benefited the rich?

    11 OCT

    The Economics of Donald Trump

    Weeks before the presidential election, Adam and Cameron discuss the state of Donald Trump’s financial empire.
