Sam hosts economist Mark Blyth (@MkBlyth) to discuss Covid19’s economic impact and what elected officials can do to help working people before the next spending bill is passed. How the stock market is different from the economy. When will the crisis impact the stock market? The downsides of a “just-in-time” economy. The myth that we are in a wartime economy. Is there anything that gives Mark hope for the future?
