YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

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?

Stephanie is back with a new podcast series.

This is the year of elections. Around 40 percent of the world has the chance to vote in 2024. And those votes will shape the geo-economic landscape for years to come.

The implications for business and democracy are huge and worth exploring, which is why Stephanie is joining Opinion columnist Adrian Wooldridge and Bloomberg contributor and former government advisor Allegra Stratton for a new series called “Voternomics.”

It’s a weekly look at the way geopolitics - and elections - are upending the longstanding assumptions of policymakers and business people around the world. In short, it’s a series about how elections mean business.
