11. How Much Does the President of the U.S. Really Matter?

from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher

The U.S. president is often called the "leader of free world." But if you ask an economist or a Constitutional scholar how much the occupant of the Oval Office matters, they won't say much. We look at what the data have to say about measuring leadership, and its impact on the economy and the country. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
