What If a Recession Is the Answer?
About this episode
Zach and Chase discuss the complexities of economic policy in light of recent inflation reports and market reactions.

Zach and Chase dig into why lower inflation, rising oil prices, housing affordability, tariffs, and Federal Reserve policy may all be pulling in different directions. More importantly, they explore the uncomfortable tradeoffs policymakers face when trying to fix an economy distorted by years of easy money. The conversation ends with a provocative question: What if the solution everyone wants isn't actually the solution the economy needs?
