What Centrist Politics Is Getting Wrong

Centrist politics is doing it wrong, Michael Ignatieff says. He would know: In 2011 he led Canada's Liberal Party to a historic defeat -- a "painful" experience he discusses with hosts Allegra Stratton and Adrian Wooldridge. Now a professor of history and a former president of the Central European University, Ignatieff reflects on what he did wrong, including failing to respond to the 2008 financial crisis. See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

This famously is the year of elections. So the Stephanomics feed has been taken over by our bonus series, Voternomics. It’s a weekly look at the way geopolitics - and elections - are upending the longstanding assumptions of policymakers and business people around the world. Hosted by Stephanie Flanders, head of Bloomberg Economics and former  BBC economics editor, former government advisor Allegra Stratton and Opinion columnist and author Adrian Wooldridge.
