This week’s cover

This week we have one cover, on a shadow that looms over the world: Donald Trump. The edition includes The World Ahead 2024, our 38th annual predictive guide to the coming year. In all that time no single person has ever eclipsed our analysis as much as Mr Trump eclipses 2024. His victory in next year’s presidential election is a coin-toss probability. We explore what that means for America—and the world.
