Summary

Michael Strain, economist at the American Enterprise Institute, returns to the Remnant today to explore the strange state of the American economy. Consumer demand for goods has skyrocketed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and supply chain chaos is dominating the headlines. In these unusual times, should conservatives embrace common good capitalism, or does zombie Reaganism still have plenty to offer? For that matter, which industries have been permanently changed by the pandemic? Have our lives actually improved since March 2020? And can even the most devoted Remnant listener tolerate more than 30 minutes of Jonah and Michael rambling about Battlestar Galactica? Show Notes: - Michael’s page at AEI - Michael’s previous Remnant appearance - Jonah and Scott Lincicome kvetch about the supply chain - Michael on the need for an economic cooldown - Michael: “Republicans Battle Over ‘Socialism-Lite’” - Hungary eyes - Jonah on how politics destroyed Battlestar Galactica Learn more about your ad choices.
