Like in Britain where voters ignored economists who insisted the UK would suffer from losing free trade with the European Union, and voted for Brexit.
Or Italy’s Giorgia Meloni who denounced consumerism and market capitalism while building a new nationalist movement based on identity—ethnic, religious, and cultural.
Or Jair Bolsonaro who promised returning the country to its Christian past, from which it had been led astray by cosmopolitans, leftists, and minorities.
You can't break economics down into sound-bites. Voters tune it out unless it hits their bank-balance, and then they look for a culprit, which all candidates are happy to provide, to the bemusement of those same voters.
