from Economics Matters with Laurence Kotlikoff · host Economics Matters

Martin Wolf is Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times, London. He was awarded Commander of the British Empire in 2000 "for services to financial journalism". This is Martin's third appearance on Economics Matters -- the Podcast. Martin's 2023 book, The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism, warned that liberal democracy was in recession, with authoritarianism on the rise. Two years later his dark vision has become America's reality. In this riveting interview, Martin spells out just how quickly our Shining City on the Hill is becoming a dark and foreboding dungeon with our great leader closely following the footsteps of history's megalomaniacs. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from the world's best informed and impressively clairvoyant global and political economist.  Martin is simply brilliant in both the British and American meanings of that word.
