D. Had beanie, don't see me. Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm senior producer Mia Sorenti. Why have so many working class voters turned away from the political left?

On today's episode, Darren S. Moglu, Nobel Prize winning economist and institute professor at MIT, joins Carl Miller to discuss his new book, What Happened to Liberal Democracy, Remaking a Politics of Shared Prosperity. Together they explore how inequality, automation, and the changing nature of work have weakened liberalism's traditional political coalition. Let's join our host, Carl Miller, now with more. Darren, very warm welcome back. Um You were intelligence squared um a couple of years ago where where we met actually in London and just before we dive into the book I just want to pick up one thread that that really stayed with me from my last conversation. I remember we'd spent a lot of time I'm I imagine some people listening will remember this as well, talking about AI and jobs.
