  • Why economists got free trade with China so wrong

    Why economists got free trade with China so wrong
    Dec 30 2025
    With the year coming to a close, we're sharing our most popular Planet Money bonus episode of 2025!

    As U.S. trade with China exploded in the early 2000's, American manufacturing began to shrivel. Those workers struggled to adapt and find new jobs. It ran counter to how mainstream economics at the time viewed free trade ... that it would be a clear win for the U.S. Greg Rosalsky talks with David Autor about why economists got free trade with China so wrong.

    Autor, an MIT economics professor, and his colleagues published a series of eye-opening studies over the last 15 years or so that brought to light the costs of U.S. trade with China. We also hear Autor's thoughts on the role of tariffs and get an update on his research. With better, more precise data, Autor says we have a more nuanced and "bleaker" picture of what happened to these manufacturing workers.

    You can read about Autor's research and sign up for The Planet Money Newsletter here.

  • The Rest of the Story, 2025

    The Rest of the Story, 2025
    Dec 26 2025
    Most stories keep going even after we set down our microphones and the music fades up. That's why, at the end of each year, we look back and we take stock.

    We call this tradition "The Rest of the Story." And we bring you updates on the stories we've reported, and from the people we've met along the way.

    Today, we check in on an engineer and patent attorney who made a safer saw; we get an update on the Planet Money game; an update on money in Gaza; and we have updates on a diamond that may or may not have had a second life.

    Listen to the original stories:

  • The summer I turned binge-y

    The summer I turned binge-y
    Dec 24 2025
    On the eve of Netflix shoveling a fourish-hour chunk of Stranger Things onto Christmas Day, we visit the past, present, and future of binge-dropped television shows.


    The strategy of releasing an entire season at the same time has been key to taking Netflix from a little startup that used to lend us DVDs in the mail … to a company so big and powerful, it is maybe going to buy Warner Brothers and own Bugs Bunny and Tony Soprano and the Harry Potter movies.


    But even Netflix may be flirting with some slightly less binge-y models of content release. Are we entering … the end of the binge drop?


    On our latest: what data tells us about binge watching. Was it the greatest business decision, and who does binge watching really benefit?


    Here’s some of the research.
