🎙🎙🎙Why is the U.S. economy outperforming much of the world? Inside Economics Podcast: Episode 166—Economic Exceptionalism Moody's Analytics economist Matt Colyar joins the podcast panel for a deep dive on the resilience of the U.S. economy. Colyar begins with a report on personal consumption expenditure inflation data and its implications for monetary policy at the Federal Reserve. He and podcast regulars Mark Zandi, Cristian deRitis and Marisa DiNatale explore reasons behind the U.S. economy's rapid and robust recovery compared with the rest of the world. Listener questions focus on implications of quantitative easing and quantitative tightening and the predictive power of the yield curve. https://lnkd.in/eiGZKswZ

An excellent listen on What the World Risks if It Abandons #Globalization The Foreign Affairs Interview After World War II, an idea took hold: economic interdependence between countries would help prevent war. But lately, faith in this idea has wavered, and terms like “decoupling,” “friend shoring,” and “de-risking” are dominating the debates around trade in Washington and beyond. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director general of the World Trade Organization, disagrees with key elements of this new consensus. She thinks that policymakers are misdiagnosing the problems that the world faces, and that they risk setting us on a dangerous course—one that could break the global economy and leave the world both less prosperous and less secure. We discuss why views on global trade have changed so dramatically in recent years, #China’s integration into the global trading system, and what would happen if the world fragmented into two trading blocs.

There is a lot of good business reporting on China’s economic woes, but at least here in the U.S. most of it looks at it through the lens of either our own less-centrally-controlled capitalist economy, or through the lens of China’s impact on our own economy. So, I appreciated Odd Lots’ latest broadcast which offers a good China-centric point of view from Zongyuan Zoe Liu, the Maurice R. Greenberg Fellow for China Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of the new book Sovereign Funds: How the Communist Party of China Finances Its Global Ambitions. I follow China economics fairly closely, but I learned a lot from this podcast. https://lnkd.in/grAn-dd6
