Description

This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston looks at how much the economy really matters when it comes to an election and if people vote based on their pay packets and tax breaks. Mandy is joined by Linda Daly of the Sunday Times and economist Dan O’Brien.

The Washington Post is dealing with a fallout from owner Jeff Bezos’s decision to block an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Mandy hears all from David Folkenflik of NPR.

Plus, Columbia professor Michael Morris argues that our tribal instincts are humanity’s secret weapon in his new book ‘Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts that Divide Us Can Help Bring Us Together’.
