November 09, 2020 Jacobin Radio: Robert Brenner on the political economy of the 2020 election
Suzi talks to Robert Brenner about the political-economic dimension of the 2020 election, the country, and the pandemic – and what it means for the battles ahead. The corrupt and hated President Trump was defeated, yet millions more people voted for him in 2020 than in 2016. He was undone by the raging pandemic that he tried to minimize. COVID 19 wreaked havoc with an already weak economy, creating widespread economic hardship. Because Trump failed to deal with the pandemic or extend economic relief, the economic crisis threatens to get much worse. Had Trump handled it with decisive measures, we'd just be dealing with the regular features of a declining capitalism, instead of far more catastrophic ones. The Biden/Harris ticket ultimately prevailed because it meant an end to Trumpian chaos and destruction -- and represented genuine hope for compassion and decency. There's much to unpack, and we get Brenner's analysis and perspectives.
