A Global Perspective on the Economic Responses to COVID-19

While COVID-19 stimulus aid enforcement continues to make headlines in the United States, a very different situation is unfolding in Europe. Jim Power, a prominent economic analyst, joins host Matt Adams for an eye-opening episode into the different fiscal responses to the pandemic by the United States and Europe. Jim takes listeners through a journey of global financial crises over the past 100 years. He and Matt then explore why the U.S. and Europe are experiencing contrary fallouts from COVID-19 policies and predict how global politics could impact future economic responses.
