City Talks: Jonathan Rodden on the deep roots of the urban-rural political divide
2019-09-25
In 2016 Donald Trump became US President despite winning almost 3 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton.
In this episode of City Talks we talk to award-winning academic Jonathan Rodden, Professor of Political Science at Stanford University and author of the book Why Cities Lose.
He explores the origins of America’s urban-rural political divide and explains how economic geography shapes elections – both in the USA and beyond.
