America is Doing Well. So Why Do Americans Feel So Down?

from Beyond Politics · host Matt Robison

***🙂🙏🤛QUICK Favor: Can You Please Leave Us a Rating and Review?*** The economy is really good by most of the big measures that economists use and that political analysts typically pay attention to -- jobs, unemployment, and economic growth -- and inflation has mostly evaporated. Yet Americans are still downright sullen about not just the economy, but the state of the country overall, and wide open to conspiracy theories in a way they've never been before. Matt and Dr. Debra Osgood explore the intersection of human psychology and politics and discuss the impact of fear and perceived threats on our behavior.
