Episode Details

Is the West’s experiment with social democracy over? Is survival of the richest our fate? In this episode, sisters Laura and Stephanie Flanders hold their annual check-in, this time from St. James Park in London, to delve into the details of the many politico-economic issues dominating and driving the news. Stephanie Flanders, an economics expert of renown, is the Head of Economics and Government at Bloomberg and the host of “Trumponomics”, the weekly Stephanomics podcast that looks at the president's economic policies and plans. Join Laura and Stephanie as they discuss how business impacts every aspect of our lives. Are we going backwards, or are there models like community wealth building that we can look to for economic transformation?

“. . . There's quite a lot of people who are saying, ‘Well, thank God we've actually got an America that's not pretending . . . You are a rapacious, self-interested nation that's out for yourself. We've always known you were that. But now, you've sort of admitted it.’” - Stephanie Flanders
