The Politics of Prediction Markets: John Phillips and David Mason on Two Think Minimum

WASHINGTON D.C. (November 8, 2024) – On the latest episode of Two Think Minimum, TPI hosts Tom Lenard, Sarah Oh Lam, and Scott Wallsten explore the world of polls and prediction markets with Aristotle CEO John Phillips and General Counsel David Mason. Aristotle manages and runs PredictIt, a platform where users can buy and sell shares based on their forecasts of future events, such as election outcomes. The conversation covers how PredictIt is navigating CFTC regulation, the broad value of small-dollar prediction markets to understanding public opinion and risk forecasting, and how PredictIt determines which questions to create contracts for. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of market dynamics, public opinion, and data-driven insights.
