How Trump screwed the world economy
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Trump's actions on the world economy and the ethical concerns surrounding insider trading, alongside a ruling against Meta and Google for harming children.
Vast sums of money was traded before President Trump's now famous attempt to announce an Iran peace deal on Monday. The speculation was that those with prior knowledge had capitalised by insider trading. Today we’re joined by Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman to explain why this sounds highly plausible, and why there’s no ethics investigation even if it’s true. Later - was Meta and Google deliberating trying to harm children by getting them addicted to the their sites? A jury finds the companies liable in a historic ruling.
