Julianna welcomes back recurring guest Dean Baker, macroeconomist and co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, to discuss a few main issues we are all experiencing today… including his thoughts on the George Floyd Protests, inequality, the Economy, the Trade War in China, and More. The interview was originally supposed to focus on how the U.S. made major changes to the way it trades with China this month, with both Trump and Congress moving to restrict investment in Chinese companies… but the focus pivoted to the more pressing issues of the George Floyd murder and the subsequent issues that developed.
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.
