An Economic Dumpster Fire

from Everybody's Business · host Bloomberg and iHeartPodcasts

Gasses from hot garbage juice are threatening to make their way out of landfills, but if that’s not also a metaphor for how the economy feels right now, have we got news for you. Join us for a ride, 250 feet above New York City, where economist Allison Schrager takes on the Stagflation Challenge. And then, back on solid ground (or more like underground), Businessweek senior editor Laura Bliss exposes the dangers of overheating landfills. Everything is fine, promise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
