In this episode of Freakonomics Radio, Fareed Zakaria delves into the implications of Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US election. He interprets this result as a strong reaction against globalization, open borders, and the feelings of disconnection experienced by many working-class Americans in today's knowledge-driven economy. Zakaria notes a shift in political dynamics, with the Republican Party increasingly appealing to a working-class, culturally conservative base, while the Democratic Party struggles to connect with this group. He also raises alarms about the potential global instability that could arise from a second Trump term, emphasizing the importance of the US staying actively involved in international affairs to maintain the current global order.
