Jerome Powell and the Fed’s latest moves come under scrutiny, followed by a sober look at the real state of the economy. Yaron also explores vaccine policy, the strategic value of rare earth minerals, and offers commentary on an amusing viral tweet.In the live Q&A, Yaron fields a wide range of sharp questions from viewers: from the inflationary effects of productivity, to the moral contradiction of Trump’s foreign policy, to Objectivist parenting in the face of progressive education.
