    Jun 23 2026
    David Reibstein, Wharton Marketing Professor and lead researcher behind the Best Countries Report, discusses how a nation’s reputation influences investment, tourism, trade, and global influence. Drawing on data from more than 15,000 respondents worldwide, Reibstein explains why Switzerland continues to rank among the world’s most respected countries, why the United States fell out of the top 10 for the first time, how perceptions of AI differ across the globe, and why countries increasingly need to think like brands in a competitive global marketplace.

    The Hidden Psychology of Vacation Envy
    Jun 9 2026
    Why does someone else’s vacation sometimes make our own feel less satisfying? Maurice Schweitzer, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at the Wharton School, explains the psychology behind vacation envy and why we instinctively compare our experiences to those of others. From social media-fueled comparisons to unrealistic travel plans and dynamic pricing, Maurice explores the hidden forces that shape how we experience vacations. He also shares practical ways to manage expectations, avoid common planning mistakes, and get more enjoyment from the trips we take.

  • Rethinking Political Division and Media Segmentation

    Rethinking Political Division and Media Segmentation
    May 26 2026

    Jerry Wind, Lauder Professor Emeritus and Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, joins Dan Loney to discuss how political polarization in the United States has evolved beyond traditional party lines into a deeper ideological divide. Drawing from a marketing and segmentation perspective, Jerry explores why the country is increasingly defined by pro Trump and anti-Trump alignment rather than Democrat versus Republican identity, and how media organizations continue relying on outdated frameworks to report on political behavior.


    The conversation also examines the role of media, social platforms, education, and institutional trust in shaping public discourse, along with the broader societal implications of polarization, ideological segmentation, and modern political communication.
