    Why Endorsing Candidates Has Become ‘Terrible’ for Business

    On this week’s episode of Voternomics, hosts Allegra Stratton and Stephanie Flanders discuss decisions by US executives not to endorse either Vice President Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in the presidential election. From Warren Buffet to the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post, Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance,  argues such displays of impartiality are a “return to the tradition.” Bloomberg Businessweek senior writer and Elon, Inc. podcast contributor Max Chafkin also joins this episode to explain Elon Musk’s devotion to Trump and the potential consequences for his company and the country. What is Tesla set to win or lose in this election? And will Musk be given a government role by Trump should he win?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why So Many Businesses Like Trump’s Promise of Tariffs

    On this episode of Voternomics, we discuss former US President Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed favorite word: tariffs. While mainstream economists warn that hiking taxes on certain imports is bad for business, not everyone appears to be of the same mind. That became evident last week during Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait’s interview of Trump before the Economic Club of Chicago. The crowd’s enthusiastic reaction to the Republican presidential candidate’s talk of tariffs suggested that many of America’s Midwest businesspeople might take a different view. Hosts Stephanie Flanders, Adrian Wooldridge and Allegra Stratton discuss the roots of Trump’s love of tariffs with Micklethwait himself and consider whether an “America First” approach could win short-term gains for some parts of the US economy, even if it undermines global trade and weakens America’s global standing in the long-term.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
