Supply Chain Breakdown is Not A BFD and Other Economic Realities

Summary:
Dean Baker joins Julianna for a discussion about the real story and impact of so called supply chain disruptions. Surprise! It's mostly fear-mongering. But then guess what... they talked about everything else: housing, student loans, free college, and Biden. Dean Baker co-founded The Center for Economic and Policy Research in 1999. His areas of research include housing and macroeconomics, intellectual property, Social Security, Medicare and European labor markets. He is the author of several books, including Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy Were Structured to Make the Rich Richer.
