Howard Yaruss Interview Episode 582

Economics can seem intimidating, but what if it's actually easier to understand than we think—and more important than we realize? In this episode, I sit down with Howard Yaruss, economist, attorney, professor, and author of Understandable Economics: Because Understanding Our Economy is Easier Than You Think and More Important Than You Know. Howard explains how economics impacts our daily lives, from taxes and inflation to trade and government spending. We discuss how economic literacy empowers citizens, how politicians misuse economic arguments, and why having a clearer grasp of money, markets, and policy is essential for a healthy democracy.
