On our final episode of Voternomics, Peter Turchin, author of End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites and the Path of Political Disintegration, joins Bloomberg head of government and economics coverage Stephanie Flanders, The Readout newsletter’s Allegra Stratton and Bloomberg Opinion columnist Adrian Wooldridge with some sobering predictions for America’s future.

Flanders, Stratton and Wooldridge also reflect on the major themes observed during this year of elections, including how it was a bad year for incumbents, how inflation and the legacy of the Covid pandemic factored into voting decisions, whether technology and artificial intelligence were major factors in campaign success or failures, and whether in the end, during a year when more than 40 national elections took place, democracy prevailed.

Hosts Stephanie Flanders and Adrian Wooldridge are joined by Tim O’Brien, senior executive editor of Bloomberg Opinion and author of TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald, and John Authers, Bloomberg’s senior editor for markets.
