Mostly Economics Podcast #15: Is Trump the Real Problem? with Darrick Hamilton
AFL-CIO Chief Economist Darrick Hamilton explains how decades of failed economic policies created the conditions for Trump's rise—but also reveals why there's reason for hope. The surprisingly effective 2020 economic response wasn't an accident; it was the result of years of grassroots organizing by movements like Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street. Hamilton breaks down how social movements forced politicians to abandon austerity economics during the pandemic, and what it will take to make those changes permanent in the face of Trump's renewed politics of division.
