Carnegie’s Uri Dadush spoke to CCTV America’s Rachelle Akuffo about how voters are considering economic factors going into the 2016 presidential election. Compared to the 2008 election, voters are more concerned with income inequality, jobs, and trade negotiations, he said. Dadush also discussed how to improve sluggish economic growth, infrastructural investments, and monetary policy.
