The economist, an inequality scholar and Nobel Prize winner admits that the United States live “in unknown territory” with Donald Trump’s return to the White House and his ability to disobey court decisions
“What I see as possible with him [Donald Trump] It is the disappearance of democracy in the United States. ”Joseph Stiglitz is not very optimistic about the future of his country, the way Donald Trump gets around court decisions and how people are carried away by the uninformation and“ social penetration ”of the US President.
In an interview with the economist, a scholar of inequality and the Nobel Prize winner of the economy admits that, with the return of Trump to the presidency, “we saw things we would not have believed for months”, such as “silence, the press”, and that, in his eyes, this “are actions” that go in the “direction” of the end of democracy. “And we are only at the beginning of your term,” warns Stiglitz.
One of the big problems is Donald Trump’s ability to disobey. And about this, Joseph Stiglitz sees nothing positive.
“When a president disobeys court decisions, we enter unknown territory. The system could not deter Trump,” he laments.
For Joseph Stiglitz, misinformation is one of the triggers, with people to be bombarded with “a multitude of channels” that offer “dubious information” and appeal to emotions. “A dystopia,” he admits. And “Trump exemplifies this model perfectly. Mind every day and nothing can prevent your advance.”
