Manage episode 276191644 series 2817135
Today's guest is Matt Klein, senior writer and economics commentator at Barron's. We discuss his new book with Michael Pettis, which argues that global imbalances are the result of rising inequality around the world. It's underconsumption theory at its most sophisticated. We ask him what implications this has for politics.
Plus, we welcome a new co-host: Chris Hong, a graduate student in history at the University of Chicago.
