This is Editor's Picks,
where we'll bring you three highlights from this week's edition of The Economist in audio.
I'm Jason Palmer.
Normally, I'm one of the hosts of our daily podcast,
The Intelligence, as well as our new narrative show, The Weeknd Intelligence.
The Economist this week includes our annual guide to the coming year called The World Ahead.
Although America's presidential election is still a year away,
the very real possibility of a second Donald Trump term is a theme throughout our future gazing coverage.
Our cover story this week, and the first article that will bring you on this podcast,
considers what a Trump victory in 2024 would mean.
The second story we've got for you investigates how to encourage scientific innovation,
which has been waning in recent years.
We argue that it's time to experiment with how science is funded.
And our final pick this week comes from Bartleby, our column on work and management.
Our columnist explores something we're all too familiar with,
the curse of the badly run meeting.
