What happens when politics and economics collide? Josh sits down with Charles Wheelan, economist, Dartmouth professor, and author of the best-selling Naked Economics series, to explore the financial and political forces shaping our world. From ranked choice voting to the realities of inflation, global risks, and government spending, Charles breaks down why these issues matter and how they affect everything from your investments to your daily life.
Josh and Charles get into the push for political reform, the challenges of balancing capitalism and democracy, and why some economic myths just won’t die. They also take a detour into Charles’ experiences traveling the world, how different cultures handle money, and what his time in the Amazon taught him about life and economics.
