NYT Article: How the Democrats Lost the Working Class
Ezra has spoken to this topic before, across different episodes covering post-pandemic inflation, history of free trade, the pivotal role of non-partisan voters in 2024 among other topics. Most recently a November episode touched on the complicated history covered by this article, "Are We On The Cusp Of A New Political Order?" where Ezra and Gary Gerstle discuss the neoliberal order of the 1970's through the present day.
A topic in recent history which can be argued sowed the seeds for the incumbent backlash by the working class in 2024. I think it's relevant to bring this up again.
