Our readingWhat is a korrent?

The return of inflation is what made Donald Trump's second presidency possible, and therefore what makes everything that presidency changes possible.

Drawn from what Jennifer Burns said

What these subjects mean

government What states are for and what they are worse at than markets and networks: legitimacy, moral hazard, and who may be entrusted with power.

demographics Who there will be: birth rates, population decline, and what a shrinking cohort does to everything downstream.

politics How people actually hold political views: tribes, partisanship, and whether anybody reasons their way in.

What Jennifer Burns actually said

  1. Jennifer Burns Historian of ideas at Stanford University and the Hoover Institution
    And so my argument is, that has now opened the door to the presidency of Donald Trump, which is potentially a deeply transformative moment that will change the size and shape of government, that may change our foreign policy profoundly, that may change our immigration policy, that may change the demographics of our country, all of that, and my thesis is that that's all been made possible by inflation.
