About this listen
Economist Justin Wolfers joins The Find Out Podcast to cut through the noise and explain what’s really happening with the U.S. economy. Is it as strong as Donald Trump claims? (Short answer: no.) Are we headed straight for a recession — or is that fear being overstated for political gain?
We break down inflation, jobs, growth, and why economic reality so often clashes with how people feel. Wolfers explains how economic data gets cherry-picked, why “vibes” dominate headlines, and how the economy becomes a political weapon in moments of uncertainty.
If you’ve felt confused by competing claims about the economy, this conversation is for you.
Plus this is likely the funniest discussion of the economy you've heard in a long time.
