Global elections are taking place against the backdrop of rising populist nationalism and the failures of neoliberalism. Neoliberal policies have led to stagnating incomes for many, while the wealthiest have seen their incomes soar. Young people, concerned about climate change, are demanding stronger regulations and social protections that neoliberalism neglected to provide.

The upcoming US presidential election highlights a choice between economic philosophies. Joe Biden aims to enhance the well-being of all citizens, particularly the bottom 99%, while Donald Trump champions the welfare of the top 1%. This election will shape the kind of society America becomes, influencing trust, honesty, and the economy.

Trump and Biden offer vastly different visions for society, reflecting differing views on freedom and a good society. Public trust, materialism, and greed are at stake, as well as the type of economy that will be fostered. The candidates’ positions on issues will determine the path of the country and its values, impacting future generations.
