How bad is Donald Trump’s economy, really? How are tariffs hurting everyone? What role does AI play? Renowned economist Paul Krugman joins Zeteo’s John Harwood to unpack it all, and more, in a live conversation.
Watch the full video above to hear Krugman and Harwood discuss:
– How AI could push us into recession: “a Wile. E. Coyote moment”
– Why the worst impact of tariffs isn’t pricing – it’s the US losing credibility: Will “people start to treat us as being Venezuela or Argentina”?
– debunking claims from the GOP’s Kevin Hassett and Scott Bessent
…and more.
