Summary
In this episode, Jon sits down with Claudia Sahm, a former Federal Reserve economist with a passion for dunking on Larry Summers. They discuss the American economic system, who gets that sweet government cheese, and why Jon wasn’t as wrong as Jamie Dimon insisted.
We also have a hotline! Call in and ask us a question before we regret this idea entirely. The number is 1-212-634-7222.
